Product Overview
Carbine-50, manufactured by India Pesticides Limited, is a versatile and effective fungicide formulated with 50% carbendazim as its active ingredient. It is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide that provides potent protection against a wide range of fungal diseases affecting various crops. Carbine-50 is particularly effective in controlling soil-borne diseases, foliar diseases, and seed-borne diseases.
Mode of Action
Carbine-50 acts as a systemic fungicide, translocating within the plant tissues to reach the target fungal pathogens. Once inside the fungus, carbendazim disrupts the microtubule formation process, which is essential for fungal growth and development. This disruption leads to the death of the fungus, effectively controlling the disease.
Target Pests and Diseases
Carbine-50 is widely used to control a variety of fungal diseases affecting various crops, including:
-
Soil-borne diseases: These diseases attack the roots, stems, and lower leaves of plants, causing wilting, stunting, and reduced yields. Some examples include Fusarium wilt, Rhizoctonia root rot, and Pythium damping-off.
-
Foliar diseases: These diseases attack the leaves, stems, and fruits of plants, causing lesions, blights, and premature defoliation. Some examples include powdery mildew, early blight, and late blight.
-
Seed-borne diseases: These diseases are carried within the seeds and infect seedlings as they emerge, causing poor germination, weak seedlings, and reduced yields. Some examples include Ascochyta blight, Alternaria leaf spot, and Pythium damping-off.
Application and Dosage
Carbine-50 is a versatile fungicide that can be applied in various ways, including:
-
Foliar sprays: Carbine-50 can be applied as a foliar spray to control foliar diseases. A concentration of 0.2-0.3% is generally recommended, depending on the crop and target disease.
-
Soil drenching: Carbine-50 can be applied as a soil drench to control soil-borne diseases. A concentration of 0.5-1% is generally recommended, depending on the crop and target disease.
-
Seed treatment: Carbine-50 can be used as a seed treatment to control seed-borne diseases. A concentration of 0.2-0.5% is generally recommended, depending on the crop and target disease.
