Mode of Action:

• Carbendazim (Systemic): It is absorbed by the plant and moves through its vascular system. It interferes with fungal growth by inhibiting β -tubulin synthesis, which is crucial for cell division in fungi. This disrupts the formation of microtubules, essential for fungal reproduction.
• Mancozeb (Contact): It forms a protective layer on the plant surface. It works by interfering with multiple enzymatic processes within fungal cells, disrupting their metabolic functions and preventing spore germination and further spread of the disease.
