Introduction

Canary Agro Chemicals Carman is a broad-spectrum fungicide effective against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops. It is formulated as a 50% soluble concentrate (SC) containing mancozeb, a dithiocarbamate fungicide that disrupts cellular respiration and inhibits protein synthesis in fungi.

Active Ingredient and Mode of Action

The active ingredient in Canary Agro Chemicals Carman is mancozeb, a dithiocarbamate fungicide that releases manganese ions (Mn2+) within fungal cells. These manganese ions interfere with cellular respiration, the process by which fungi generate energy. Additionally, mancozeb disrupts protein synthesis in fungi, leading to the inhibition of essential fungal processes and eventually, the death of the fungus.
