Mancozeb

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the enzyme activity

Common Product Names: Manzate Pro Stick & Dithane

What is it?

Mancozeb is a coordination product of zinc ion and manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate. It is commonly used in agriculture for the protection of fruit, vegetable, nut, and field crops against a wide spectrum of fungal diseases. Mancozeb is known for its efficacy and versatility, making it a popular choice among farmers and gardeners.

How does it work?

Mancozeb functions by interfering with the enzymatic processes within fungal cells. It inhibits several key enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle and in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which are crucial for the energy production and growth of the fungi. By disrupting these processes, Mancozeb effectively prevents the fungi from growing and spreading.

Benefits

  • Preventative Action: It is primarily used as a preventative fungicide, applied before the appearance of disease symptoms.
  • Low Risk of Resistance: As a multi-site inhibitor, it reduces the likelihood of fungi developing resistance.
  • Compatibility: Mancozeb can be mixed with many other pesticides and fertilizers, enhancing its usability in integrated pest management programs.
