Kinki Fungicide (Hexaconazole 5% SC) | Systemic Disease Control
Expert protection against Sheath Blight, Powdery Mildew, and Tikka Disease with advanced SC technology.
Kinki (Hexaconazole 5% SC) by IFFCO-MC is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide designed for modern Indian agriculture. Unlike older formulations, Kinki uses a water-based Suspension Concentrate (SC) technology. This means it provides powerful "Triple Action" protection—preventive, curative, and eradicant—without the risk of burning soft leaves or flowers. It is the go-to solution for Rice, Mango, Grapes, and Groundnut farmers looking for cost-effective and reliable disease management.
Best For: Farmers seeking a safe, non-burning fungicide for Rice Sheath Blight and fungal issues in high-value fruit crops.
Why Choose Kinki Fungicide? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Triple Action Power: Acts as a Protective shield, a Curative medicine, and an Eradicant to stop established infections immediately.
- ?️Safe SC Formulation (No Burn): Water-based formula ensures no phytotoxicity (leaf burn) or flower drop, making it safer than EC formulations for sensitive crops like Grapes and Mango.
- ⏳Systemic "Inside-Out" Protection: Rapidly absorbed by the plant and moves upwards (acropetal), protecting new leaves and stems that weren't even sprayed.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: Once the spray dries on the leaf, it is absorbed into the system, ensuring rain doesn't wash away your investment.
- ?High ROI for Farmers: Offers premium systemic protection at a pocket-friendly price, delivering a high Return on Investment compared to expensive alternatives.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kinki works by targeting the specific biological machinery of the fungus.
- Destroys Cell Walls (Ergosterol Inhibition): Kinki blocks the production of Ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. Without this, the cell membrane becomes leaky and collapses, killing the fungus.
- Systemic Acropetal Movement: Upon spraying, the active ingredient is absorbed by the leaves/roots and travels upward through the plant's xylem. This ensures that even unsprayed upper leaves are protected.
- Translaminar Action: It penetrates from the top of the leaf to the bottom, effectively killing pests hidden on the underside of the foliage.
This multi-level attack makes it highly effective against obligate parasites like Powdery Mildew and soil-borne threats like Sheath Blight.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) |
| Mango & Grapes | Powdery Mildew |
| Groundnut | Tikka Disease (Leaf Spot) |
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 | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | 40 |
| Groundnut | 200 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1 - 2 ml | 30 |
| Mango / Grapes | Tree/Vine Specific | As Needed | 1 - 2 ml | 14 (Grapes) / 27 (Mango) |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice, start spraying at the tillering/booting stage or as soon as you see the first snake-skin-like lesions on the sheaths. For Mango, spray at panicle emergence.
- Mixing: As an SC formulation, Kinki can settle. Shake the bottle well. Mix the required dose in a small mug of water to form a "slurry" before adding it to your main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure full canopy coverage. For Rice Sheath Blight, direct the nozzle toward the lower stems where the disease starts.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not contaminate ponds or water bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kinki control Sheath Blight in Rice?
Yes, it is the industry standard for Sheath Blight. It works systemically to stop the spread of lesions from the water line up to the flag leaf.
2. Is this formulation safe for Mango flowering?
Yes. Because Kinki is an SC (Suspension Concentrate) and water-based, it reduces the risk of flower drop or burning compared to older EC formulations.
3. Can I mix Kinki with other chemicals?
Kinki is compatible with most neutral insecticides and fungicides (like Strobilurins). However, never mix it with alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
4. What is the advantage of SC over EC formulations?
SC formulations are water-based and eco-friendlier. They do not use harsh petroleum solvents, making them safer for the plant's cuticle and reducing the risk of scorching in hot weather.
5. How do I prevent resistance build-up?
Do not use Kinki exclusively all season. Rotate it with contact fungicides (like Mancozeb) or mix it with different chemical groups to prevent the fungus from adapting.
