• Cyproconazole + Carbendazim (Altocombi) Behavaran

• Cyproconazole + Carbendazim fungicide at 42% suspension concentration is an effective, widely used product for controlling fungal diseases in plants. This combination features two active ingredients that each play a key role in inhibiting fungal growth and spread. Cyproconazole from the triazole family stops fungal growth by disrupting cell membrane structure. Carbendazim from the benzimidazole group halts disease progression by interfering with fungal cell division. Offered in 1000 ml packaging, its systemic and broad-spectrum action makes it suitable for many agricultural crops.

Mode of Action

• Systemic fungicide with protective and curative properties from the guanidine family. Its mode of action is by altering the integrity and permeability of fungal cell membranes, disrupting cellular respiration processes and ultimately killing the fungus.

Uses

• This product effectively controls various fungal diseases across agricultural crops:

  • Wheat: Fusarium head blight (reduces yield and quality) – 500 ml per hectare

  • Rapeseed: Sclerotinia rot (destructive disease) – 1 liter per hectare

  Also used in fruit orchards, grapes, vegetables, cucurbits, and ornamentals for broad fungal control, supporting crop health.

  Key Usage Notes

• Wheat pre-harvest interval (PHI): minimum 42 days to avoid residues.
• Do not mix with pesticides containing heavy metals, copper compounds, or zinc sulfate to maintain efficacy.
• For severe wheat infections: two applications possible – first at flag leaf emergence before heading, second after heading (avoid during flowering).
• Rapeseed: best at 10-15% flowering stage.
• Test on new varieties or seeds at small scale first for compatibility.

Advantages

• Dual protective and curative action.
• Systemic absorption via leaves and roots for plant-wide distribution.
• Broad-spectrum control across diverse crops.
• Relatively low toxicity compared to similar fungicides.
