Care Fungicide (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP)
The "Double-Lock" Protection for Your Crops: Curative & Preventative Control
Care by Insecticides (India) Limited is a powerful broad-spectrum fungicide that combines two trusted active ingredients. It offers a complete solution for Indian farmers by fighting fungal diseases from the inside (systemic) and the outside (contact).
Best For: Managing Blast in Paddy, Leaf Spot in Groundnut, and Early/Late Blight in Potato and Vegetables.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Dual Action Power: Combines Systemic (Carbendazim) and Contact (Mancozeb) action. It cures existing infections and prevents new ones simultaneously.
- ?️Complete Disease Control: Provides a "Kick-back" effect to stop hidden infections and a "Carry-over" effect to protect against future fungal attacks.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Results: The systemic component moves inside the plant to protect new leaves and growth that appear after spraying.
- ?️Weather Resistant: Ideal for humid Indian climates. It forms a protective layer that is hard for fungi to penetrate.
- ?Nutrient Bonus: Contains Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn) which helps in greening the leaves and improving overall plant health.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Care uses a "Double-Lock" mechanism to trap and eliminate fungi:
- Systemic Action (Carbendazim): Absorbed by roots and leaves, it travels inside the plant to stop the fungus from growing and dividing (Mitosis inhibitor).
- Contact Action (Mancozeb): Remains on the leaf surface like a shield. When fungal spores land, it releases a toxic substance that kills them instantly.
- Resistance Management: Because it attacks the fungus in two different ways, it is very difficult for the disease to develop resistance against Care.
Result: Comprehensive protection against both internal and external fungal threats.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 300 - 400 g | 200 - 300 L | 1.5 - 2.0 g | 57 |
| Groundnut | 200 - 250 g | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.5 g | 72 |
| General / Vegetables | 300 - 400 g | 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 g | 7-15 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventatively (before disease appears) or at the very first sign of disease symptoms for best results. Repeat every 10-15 days.
- Mixing (Pre-creaming): Do not dump powder directly into the tank. Mix the required dose in a small bucket of water first to make a smooth paste (slurry), then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Use sufficient water volume to ensure the leaves are completely covered. The contact part (Mancozeb) needs good coverage to work.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Avoid inhalation of dust during mixing. Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Care is generally safe for birds and bees when used as directed, but it is toxic to fish. Do not wash spray equipment in ponds, rivers, or canals.
4. Does it work on Root Rot?
Yes, Care can be used as a seed treatment or soil drench to control soil-borne diseases like Collar Rot and Dry Root Rot.
5. What is the shelf life of this product?
