EBS Susafe Carbendazim 12%+ Mancozeb 63% WP

1. Product Overview:

Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP is a broad-spectrum fungicide combination formulated as a wettable powder (WP). It contains two active ingredients: Carbendazim (12%) and Mancozeb (63%), both of which work synergistically to control a wide variety of fungal diseases in crops such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals. This formulation is highly effective against a broad range of soil-borne and foliar fungal pathogens that cause diseases such as blight, mildew, rust, powdery mildew, and leaf spots.

• Carbendazim is a systemic fungicide that effectively inhibits the growth of fungal cells by interfering with their ability to form microtubules, essential for cell division.

• Mancozeb, a contact fungicide, protects plants by inhibiting fungal spore germination and disrupting fungal metabolism.

Together, these two ingredients provide multi-site action against fungal diseases, ensuring preventative and curative control.

2. Mode of Action:

Carbendazim and Mancozeb function in complementary ways to provide comprehensive control over fungal diseases.

• Carbendazim (12%): This systemic fungicide is absorbed into plant tissues, where it moves through the plant to provide long-lasting protection. It disrupts the formation of microtubules in fungal cells, preventing their division and growth. By inhibiting the fungus's cellular division, Carbendazim effectively halts the growth of fungal pathogens.

• Mancozeb (63%): A contact fungicide, Mancozeb works on the surface of plant tissues, preventing fungal spores from germinating and spreading. It disrupts the metabolism of fungi by blocking enzymatic processes that are critical for fungal growth and reproduction. Mancozeb provides immediate protection on treated surfaces, making it highly effective as a preventive fungicide.

The combination of these two active ingredients enhances the effectiveness and duration of action, offering both systemic and contact control of fungal pathogens.

3. Target Fungal Diseases:

Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP is a highly effective fungicide for a wide range of crops and can be used to control numerous fungal diseases caused by both soil-borne and airborne fungi. It is particularly useful for preventing and curing fungal diseases that affect crops during rainy and humid conditions, where fungal infections are most likely to spread.

Key Diseases Controlled:
