How It Works: Mode of Action
Hexahit works by targeting the specific biological systems of fungi [Image of fungal cell membrane structure] . It acts as a Sterol Biosynthesis Inhibitor (SBI).
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the active ingredient (Hexaconazole) is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and stems.
- Translocation: It travels up through the plant's water system (xylem), reaching even untreated tips and new growth.
- Disruption: It blocks the production of Ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell skin (membrane). Without this, the fungal cell bursts and dies.
This targeted action makes it highly effective against Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes fungi.

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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 ml | 30 |
| Groundnut | 600 ml | 200 L | 3.0 ml | 30 |
| Mango / Fruits | As required | Variable | 1.0 - 2.0 ml | 15-20 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively (before disease starts) or at the very first sign of spots/blight for best results.
- Mixing: Add Hexahit to a small quantity of water first to create a white emulsion, then pour into the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For Groundnut, ensure the spray penetrates the dense canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Hexahit cure existing fungus?
Yes, it has "curative" properties, meaning it can stop disease development even after infection has started.
2. Is Hexahit effective for Rice Blast?
Yes, it is highly effective against Rice Blast and Sheath Blight, two of the most damaging paddy diseases.
3. Can I use this on vegetables?
Hexahit is broad-spectrum and often used on vegetables for Powdery Mildew, but always check the label for your specific crop.
4. Is it rainfast?
Yes, as an EC (oil-based) formulation, it absorbs quickly. Rain 1-2 hours after spraying usually does not affect performance.
5. Why is the liquid white when mixed?
This is normal. The "EC" formulation turns into a milky white emulsion when mixed with water to help it spread evenly.
