Description
Mode of action
A fungicide composition based on dithiocarbamate and another fungicide compound, as well as an effective method for protecting plants from fungal diseases. The Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC)2 classifies Mancozeb as a multi-site, mode-of-action group M fungicide. It disrupts several biochemical processes within the fungal cell cytoplasm and mitochondria by interfering with enzymes containing sulphydryl groups. Fungal diseases can also be treated with copper fungicides. Copper ions kill pathogens that have not yet infected the plant by denaturing proteins and enzymes in their cells. They are non-selective and have no post-infection activity. Copper and Mancozeb combination is a commonly used bactericide and fungicide in agricultural production, providing growers with consistent control of a wide range of bacterial and fungal diseases.
Benefits of Copper sulphate 47.15% + Mancozeb 30% WDG
- Environmentally safe: It dissolves quickly in soil and water and has no potential for leaching, resulting in low persistence in the environment.
- Offers growers dependable control over a variety of bacterial and fungal diseases in a wide range of crops.
- Cost-saving advantages for disease prevention
- Because of the multisite mode of action’s low danger of developing resistance, it can be used regularly for several years.
