Pixm (Rotam India) is a post-emergent, systemic fungicide with the active ingredients Carbendazim (12%) and Mancozeb (63% WP). It is used to control a wide range of fungal diseases on a variety of crops, including rice, wheat, groundnut, vegetables, and fruits.

Mode of action:

• Carbendazim is a benzimidazole fungicide that disrupts the microtubules in fungal cells. This prevents the fungus from dividing and growing, which kills it.
• Mancozeb is a dithiocarbamate fungicide that inhibits the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase, which is essential for fungal respiration. This prevents the fungus from producing energy, which kills it.

Application:

Pixm can be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer. The application rate depends on the type of crop being grown and the fungal disease being controlled. For example, to control blast on rice, the application rate is 0.25-0.5 L/ha. To control brown rust on wheat, the application rate is 0.5-1 L/ha. To control leaf spot on groundnut, the application rate is 0.5-1 L/ha. To control early blight on tomato, the application rate is 0.5-1 L/ha.

Benefits:

• Pixm is a highly effective fungicide that provides broad-spectrum control of a wide range of fungal diseases.
• It is also relatively safe for humans and animals, and it has a short pre-harvest interval, making it a good choice for use on crops that are about to be harvested.
