Technical Name ; Cymoxanil 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP

• Mode of Action

  It is a mixture of two fungicides- Mancozeb and Cymoxanil. The partner Mancozeb acts by its contact action. The mancozeb is fungi toxic when exposed to air. It is converted to an isothiocyanate, which inactivates the Sulphahydral (SH) groups in enzymes of fungi. Sometimes the metals are exchanged between mancozeb and enzymes of fungi, thus causing a disturbance in fungal enzyme functioning. Anotherr partner Cymoxanil has contact and localocallly systemic activity. It inhibits sporulation in fungi.

• Special Features

  • Specialty Dual action fungicide i.e. contact and locally systemic, which controls diseases by its protective as well as early curative action. Best for controlling the resistant fungal population.
  • Good kick-back action – Controls fungi even after 2 days of infection. Specialty fungicides to control diseases caused by oomycetes fungi. (Downy mildew, late blight, etc.) Rapid uptake and trans-location in the plant.
  • Long duration disease control.
  • Due to various actions on spores, viz – Inhibits spore germination, reduce spore viability and inhibits spores production, controls spread of disease.

• Application

  For best management of the disease, it is wise to spray at the initiation of the disease symptoms/ at the probable time of disease occurrence. Preventive application of Indosure early in the season helps in preventing disease outbreaks late in the season.
