Description
Mode of Action of Carbendazim 50% WP
Carbendazim 50% WP works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of fungal cells, preventing the formation of new fungal spores, and reducing the spread of the disease. When applied to the roots, the active ingredient passes intercellularly into the xylem vessels and is swept along by the sap stream towards the foliage. When applied to the foliage, the fungicide gets into the xylem and spreads to the distal parts of the leaf, but not in the opposite direction towards the roots. It mainly acts by inhibiting the development of germ tubes, the formation of appressoria, and the growth of mycelia.
