Dhanuka M-45 is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide with Mancozeb as its active ingredient. This fungicide is widely used to control fungal growth and prevent diseases in various crops. It offers long-term cost benefits due to its nutritional advantages and superior crop protection, ultimately leading to higher yields and better-quality crops.
Key Features:
Broad-spectrum control: Effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases caused by phycomycetes, advanced fungi, and other fungal groups infecting numerous crops.
Contact fungicide: Works by direct contact with the fungal spores and hyphae, preventing them from germinating and spreading.
Protective action: Forms a protective barrier on the plant surface, preventing fungal penetration and infection.
Nutritional benefits: Provides manganese and zinc in traces to the crop, keeping plants green and healthy.
Safe to natural enemies and environment: Can be integrated into Integrated Pest Management programs.
Cost-effective: Offers excellent disease control at a competitive price, contributing to higher yields and better-quality crops.
Mode of Action:
Dhanuka M-45 works by inhibiting the activity of fungal enzymes, thereby preventing the growth and reproduction of fungi on plant surfaces. It is converted to an isothiocyanate, which inactivates the sulphahydral (SH) groups in enzymes of fungi. This process sometimes involves the exchange of metals between mancozeb and fungal enzymes, disrupting the fungi's enzyme functions.
Benefits:
Effective disease control: Controls a wide range of fungal diseases, including early and late blight, leaf spot, tikka, and rust.
Improved crop health: Provides essential nutrients like manganese and zinc, promoting healthy plant growth.
Higher yields: Protects crops from fungal diseases, leading to increased yields and improved crop quality.
Environmentally friendly: Safe to natural enemies and the environment, making it a sustainable choice for disease management.
Versatile application: Can be used for foliar sprays, nursery drenching, and seed treatments in many crops.
Recommended Crops:
Dhanuka M-45 can be used on a variety of crops, including:
Rice
