🌾 What Saaf Fungicide Is

UPL Saaf Fungicide – Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP and similar Saaf products are broad-spectrum chemical fungicides widely used in India to prevent and treat fungal diseases in crops and plants. They contain two main active ingredients: Carbendazim (12%) and Mancozeb (63%) in wettable powder (WP) form. (Bharat Agrolink)

🧪 How It Works

• Carbendazim — a systemic fungicide that travels within the plant’s tissues and interferes with fungal growth. (Bharat Agrolink)
• Mancozeb — a contact fungicide that stays on the surface and prevents fungal spores from germinating. (Bharat Agrolink)
  Together, they provide both preventive and curative control of many fungal diseases. (rooral.in)
