Kaguya Fungicide (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP)
The "Double-Lock" Protection for Rice, Groundnut, and Vegetables.
Kaguya by IFFCO-MC is a powerful broad-spectrum fungicide that combines two trusted chemistries. It works in two ways: it cures infection from inside the plant (Systemic) and forms a shield on the outside (Contact). This dual action makes it highly effective against tough diseases like Rice Blast, Leaf Spot, and Blights.
Best For: Farmers looking for an affordable, "One-Shot" solution to treat fungal diseases and improve crop greenness.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Double Action (Systemic + Contact): Carbendazim enters the plant to cure existing disease, while Mancozeb stays on the surface to prevent new infections.
- ?️Broad Spectrum Control: Effectively controls multiple fungal threats like Blast, Leaf Spot, Rust, and Anthracnose in a single spray.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Remains effective on the plant for a longer duration, reducing the need for frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Superior Rainfastness: High-quality "wettable powder" formulation sticks well to leaves and doesn't wash off easily with light rain.
- ?Phytotonic Greening Effect: Contains Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn), which boosts chlorophyll, making your crop greener and healthier.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kaguya utilizes a synergy called the "Partner Fungicide Concept" to ensure no fungus survives.
- Systemic Cure (Carbendazim): Absorbed by roots and leaves, it travels through the plant's vascular system. It stops fungal cells from dividing (mitosis), killing the infection from the inside.
- Contact Shield (Mancozeb): It remains on the leaf surface and releases toxic compounds that destroy fungal spores before they can germinate.
- Resistance Breaking: Because Mancozeb attacks multiple sites in the fungus, it prevents pests from developing resistance to Carbendazim.
This combination ensures that even if a fungus penetrates the outer shield, the inner systemic medicine will kill it.
Target Crops & Pests
[Image of Rice Blast disease symptoms]| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Blast (Leaf & Neck), Sheath Blight |
| Groundnut | Leaf Spot (Tikka Disease), Rust, Collar Rot |
| Potato | Late Blight, Early Blight, Black Scurf |
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 g | 57 Days |
| Groundnut | 200 - 300 g | 200 - 250 L | 1 - 1.5 g | 72 Days |
| Potato | 700 g | 300 - 400 L | 2 - 2.5 g | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Note: Kaguya is a powder (WP), so dosage is in Grams.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Use preventively or at the very first sign of disease. For Paddy, spray at "Maximum Tillering" and "Boot Leaf" stages for best Blast control.
- Mixing: Do not mix with alkaline products like Lime Sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. Ensure the water pH is neutral or slightly acidic (5-7).
- Coverage: Ensure complete coverage of the foliage. For Groundnut, repeat spray after 14 days if disease pressure continues.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during mid-day to protect honey bees.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kaguya help in making plants green?
Yes. Kaguya contains Manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn), which are essential micronutrients that boost photosynthesis and improve the green color of the leaves.
2. Can I mix Kaguya with insecticides?
Yes, Kaguya is physically compatible with common insecticides like Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos. However, always perform a small jar test before full tank mixing.
3. What is the waiting period for harvesting Paddy?
Kaguya has a long Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of 57 days for Paddy. It is best used during the vegetative and early reproductive stages, not near harvest.
4. Is this effective for Seed Treatment?
Absolutely. Kaguya is highly effective for seed treatment at a dose of 2.5g per kg of seed to prevent soil-borne diseases like seedling blight.
5. Why is Kaguya better than using Mancozeb alone?
Mancozeb alone only protects the surface (preventive). Kaguya adds Carbendazim, which enters the plant to cure existing infections, providing "Double-Lock" security.
