Antracol Fungicide (Propineb 70% WP) — Product Description

Antracol is a contact (protective) fungicide from Bayer, formulated as a wettable powder (70% WP) containing Propineb. It belongs to the dithiocarbamate class of fungicides and includes zinc, which gives additional benefits to plants.

🔬 What Makes It Effective

Active Ingredient: Propineb 70% Wettable Powder.
Mode of Action: Multi-site (meaning it acts at several points in the fungal metabolism: respiration, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, cell membranes). This helps reduce the risk of resistance developing.
Contact/Preventive Fungicide: Primarily used before disease onset to protect plants.

🌾 Crops & Diseases Controlled

Antracol offers broad spectrum protection on many fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental crops. Some of the main applications include:

Crop(s)	Diseases Controlled
Apple	Scab
Pomegranate	Leaf & Fruit Spots
Potato	Early blight, Late blight
Tomato	Buck eye rot, Early/Late blight
Chilli	Dieback
Grapes	Downy mildew
Rice	Brown leaf spot, Narrow leaf spot
Citrus, Onions, Lettuce, Cucurbits	Various leaf spots, downy mildew, black spot, grey leaf spot

✅ Key Benefits

Disease Protection + Crop Health: Offers preventive protection against fungal diseases and improves plant health. Antracol’s zinc content helps crops show greener foliage and potentially higher yields.
Resistance Management: Because it’s a multi-site fungicide, it’s useful in crop protection programs to delay or prevent resistance development.
Rainfastness & Good Formulation: The product is formulated to resist wash-off by rain to an extent, and mixes well in water.

⚠️ Use & Safety Guidelines

Application: Should be applied as a protective spray before disease appears; regular preventive applications are more effective than trying to cure once disease is severe.
Dosage & Waiting Period: Varies by crop and disease. For example, for apple scab the PHI (pre-harvest interval) might be 30 days, for others shorter. Always read the label for correct dose, spray volume, and PHI..
Safety: Relatively low toxicity when used correctly. Avoid drift, and protect waterways (to prevent contamination). Use safety gear when handling.
