Krishikranti Susafe : Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP

Broad-spectrum systemic + contact fungicide for crop disease control. Carbendazim 12 Mancozeb 63 WP combines two proven modes of action  Carbendazim moves systemically inside the plant and stops fungal cell division, while Mancozeb forms a protective contact layer on leaves, stems, and fruit. One spray, dual protection, wider disease coverage.

Mode of Action

Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP works through a dual-action mechanism  systemic + contact.

• Carbendazim (Systemic) is absorbed by the plant and moves through the xylem. It binds to fungal β-tubulin, disrupting cell division and stopping fungal growth from inside the plant. Curative action.
• Mancozeb (Contact) stays on the leaf and fruit surface and inhibits multiple enzyme sites in fungal cells, preventing spore germination and new infection. Protective action.

Diseases Controlled (Crop-Wise)

Dose & Application Method

When to Use

• At first appearance of disease symptoms.
• Before flowering and fruiting in humid, cloudy, or post-rain weather.
• As pre-sowing seed treatment for soil-borne fungi.
• During monsoon disease window in paddy, soybean, chilli, and grapes.

Why the Carbendazim + Mancozeb Combination Works

Single-molecule fungicides build resistance fast. The 12 63 fungicide combo hits fungi from two anglessystemic kill from inside + contact shield from outside. Wider disease coverage, slower resistance build-up, fewer sprays per crop cycle. One product replaces two separate fungicide applications, reducing labour and input cost.

For situations needing only systemic action, see Carbendazim 46.27% SC. For pure contact protection, use Mancozeb 75% WP. For tougher downy mildew and late blight pressure, Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP and Copper Oxychloride 50% WP are stronger alternatives.

Spray Tips for Better Results

• Spray during early morning or late evening  never under direct hot sun.
• Use clean water and a flat fan or hollow cone nozzle for uniform coverage.
• Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
• Add a sticker/spreader if leaves are waxy (cabbage, onion, gourds).
• Do not spray before expected rain within 4–6 hours.

3. Can Carbendazim Mancozeb be used as seed treatment?

Yes. Use 2.5–3 grams per kg of seed before sowing to control soil-borne and seed-borne fungi like damping off, smut, and root rot.

4. How often should Carbendazim Mancozeb be sprayed?

Every 10–15 days during active disease pressure. Maximum 2–3 sprays per crop cycle.

5. Does Carbendazim Mancozeb control bacterial diseases?

No. It is a fungicide  effective against fungal diseases only, not bacterial or viral infections.

6. Can it be mixed with other pesticides?
