Description | It is a unique combination of contact & systemic mode of action. It is a combination fungicide based on Hexaconazole 5% and Captan 70% as active ingredients in WP formulation. It has good protective, curative, eradicant and anti sporulant mode of action. It is a broad spectrum fungicide highly useful for management of Powdery mildew, anthracnose, late blight, early blight, downy mildew & grey mildew diseases on fruits & vegetables and various other crops. This fungicide is well suited for soil and seed borne disease too. Captan is a non-specific thiol reactant with protective and curative action that works by inhibiting respiration of numerous species of fungi and bacteria. Captan blocks the ability of fungus to produce energy. The mechanism of action may involve the degradation of captan into the short-lived thiophosgene, which is a highly reactive with thiols and other functional groups. It is a systemic triazole fungicide, with protective and curative action. Hexaconazole is ergosterol biosynthesis (sterioddimethylation inhibitor) inhibitor thereby controlling growth and reproduction of plant fungal pathogens. Hexaconazole is a systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. Used for the control of many fungi, particularly Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes. Recommendation :Captan 70 % + Hexaconazole 5 % WP is a contact fungicide used for the control of fruit rot (anthracnose) of chillies and early and late blight of potato Crop
