XACARB – Hexaconazole 4% + Carbendazim 16% SC

XACARB – Hexaconazole 4% + Carbendazim 16% SC is a powerful broad-spectrum systemic fungicide formulated as a soluble concentrate (SC). It provides excellent preventive and curative control of a wide range of fungal diseases in crops such as cereals, fruits, vegetables, and plantation crops. The combination of Hexaconazole and Carbendazim offers a dual-action mechanism, ensuring long-lasting protection and promoting healthier crop growth for higher yield and quality.

Mode of Action

• Hexaconazole (Systemic Action): Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis → disrupts fungal cell membrane formation → prevents fungal growth and spore germination.

• Carbendazim (Systemic Action): Interferes with fungal mitosis by inhibiting β-tubulin → prevents spore germination and mycelial growth.

• Combination Effect: Dual action provides enhanced disease control, both preventive and curative, for a wide range of foliar and soil-borne diseases.

Benefits

• Broad-spectrum disease control – Controls leaf spots, blights, rusts, powdery mildew, anthracnose, and other major fungal diseases.

• Dual mode of action – Prevents resistance development and improves efficacy against a wide range of pathogens.

• Systemic and curative protection – Protects new and existing growth from infection.

• Promotes healthy crop growth – Reduces fungal stress, ensuring vigorous and uniform development.

• Improves yield and quality – Safeguards crops during critical stages to maximize productivity.

• Easy application & handling – Soluble concentrate formulation mixes uniformly in water for efficient spray.

• Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) – Can be rotated or combined with other crop protection measures.

Recommendations

• Crops: Wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits, tea, cotton, and plantation crops.

• Dosage: 500–750 ml per hectare in 200–300 liters of water.

• Timing: Apply preventively when disease conditions are favorable or at the first sign of infection.

• Method of Application: Uniform foliar spray covering upper and lower leaf surfaces.

• Precautions:

  • Use personal protective equipment (PPE).

  • Avoid spraying during hot, sunny hours or rain.

  • Do not exceed recommended dose to avoid crop damage.
