Application |

|
Carbendazim is a systemic fungicide with protective
and cruative action and aborbed through the roots and green tissues,
with translocation acropetally. Acts by inhibiting development of
the germ tubes, the formation of appressoria, and the growth of
mycelia.
Used to control of Septoria, Fusarium, Erysiphe and Pseudocercosporella
in cereals, Sclerotinia, Alternaria and Cylindrosporium in oilseed
rape, Cercospora and Erysiphe in sugar beet, Uncinula and Botrytis
in grapes, Cladosporium and Botrytis in tomatoes, Venturia and Podosphaera
in pome fruit and Monilia and Sclerotinia in stone fruit; application
rates vary from 120-600 g/ha depending on crop. A seed treatment
(0.6-0.8 g/kg) will control Tilletia, Ustilago, Fusarium and Septoria
in cereals and Rhizoctonia in cotton. Also shows activity against
storage diseases of fruit as a dip (0.3-0.5 g/l).
