Description:

AGRIVENTURE CARBEN is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide used to prevent and cure fungal diseases across various crops. It is widely used for seed treatment and foliar sprays to control diseases like powdery mildew, anthracnose, leaf spot, and wilt.

Technical content: Carbendazim 50% WP

Key Features & Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Disease Control: Effectively combats many major fungal pathogens, including powdery mildew, anthracnose, leaf spot, loose smut, and root rot.
• Systemic Action: Swiftly absorbed by roots and leaves, translocating throughout the plant via the xylem. This allows it to reach new growth and fight existing infections from within.
• Preventive & Curative: Protects healthy plants from impending fungal attacks and halts the spread of diseases on already-infected crops.
• Rain-Fastness: Quickly penetrates plant tissues, meaning it remains effective even if it rains a few hours after application.
• Cost-Effective: Delivers long-lasting protection, resulting in better cost-effectiveness per acre compared to managing severe crop losses.
• Versatile Application: Can be utilized for foliar sprays, seed treatments, and even post-harvest dipping to protect fruits and tubers during storage.

Crops suitability: Paddy, Wheat, Barley, Peas, Cotton, Jute, Tomatoes, Chillies, Brinjal, Cucurbits, Cluster Bean, Grapes, Apples, Bananas, Groundnut

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, Sheath Blight, Wilt and Root Rot, Loose Smut, Leaf Spot & Tikka Disease, Fruit Rot

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Inhibition of Cell Division: It belongs to the benzimidazole group (FRAC Group 1). It works by binding to the fungal protein β-tubulin, which prevents the assembly of microtubules. This successfully halts nuclear division (mitosis) during cell division.
• Stops Fungal Growth: By disrupting mitosis, it stops mycelial growth, the formation of appressoria (infection structures), and the development of germ tubes, preventing the pathogen from spreading.
• Systemic Translocation: Once absorbed by the plant's roots or foliage, the active ingredient moves inside the plant through the xylem vessels along the sap stream, distributing internally.

Mode of application: Foliar sprays, Seed treatments and Soil drenching

Dose: 30gm in 15-liter water
