IFFCO Aniki contains Propineb 70% WP, a FRAC M03 multi-site contact fungicide used as a protectant. India’s registered-use table lists specified diseases in apple, pomegranate, potato, chilli, tomato, grapes, rice and cotton. Follow the current pack label for crop, dose, water volume and PHI.
Item description
IFFCO Aniki Propineb 70% WP Fungicide
Aniki is an IFFCO wettable-powder fungicide containing Propineb 70% WP. It is a multi-site contact protectant for crop-disease combinations permitted on the current Indian label.
FRAC classifies Propineb in Group M03, covering dithiocarbamates and related multi-site fungicides. Because Aniki remains mainly on treated plant surfaces, accurate mixing and thorough spray coverage are essential.
Positioning: Aniki should not be described as systemic, automatically curative, or effective against every fungal disease. Use it only on the registered crop-disease rows and follow the supplied label.
Why Choose Aniki?
- Verified formulation: Propineb 70% WP contact fungicide.
- Multi-site activity: FRAC M03 classification supports low resistance-risk use within a broader fungicide program.
- Protectant action: Helps prevent registered fungal infections on surfaces reached by the spray.
- Eight registered crop groups: India’s formulation-use table lists apple, pomegranate, potato, chilli, tomato, grapes, rice and cotton.
- Crop-specific directions: Rates and PHIs are clearly separated instead of using one unsafe blanket dose.

How Propineb Works
Propineb acts at multiple sites in fungal metabolism. Formulation-level technical sources describe interference with respiration, carbohydrate and protein metabolism, cell membranes, spore production and germ-tube development.
- Contact protection: The fungicide remains mainly on treated plant surfaces.
- Multi-site disruption: Several fungal metabolic processes are affected rather than one single target site.
- Coverage-dependent performance: Unsprayed or newly emerged tissue is not automatically protected, so application quality and label-directed timing matter.
FRAC generally considers multi-site fungicides a low resistance-risk group, but responsible use still requires label rates, good coverage and rotation planning. “Low risk” does not mean resistance is impossible or that Aniki should be used repeatedly without an integrated program.
Registered Crops, Diseases, Dose and PHI
| Crop | Registered Disease | Formulation Dose | Water Volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | Scab | 300 g/100 L water | As required for tree size and equipment | 30 days |
| Pomegranate | Leaf and fruit spots | 300 g/100 L water | As required for tree size and equipment | 10 days |
| Potato | Early and late blight | 300 g/100 L water | As required for crop stage and equipment | 15 days |
| Chilli | Die-back | 500 g/100 L water | As required for crop stage and equipment | 10 days |
| Tomato | Buckeye rot | 300 g/100 L water | As required for crop stage and equipment | 10 days |
| Grapes | Downy mildew | 300 g/100 L water | As required for crop stage and equipment | 40 days |
| Rice / Paddy | Brown leaf spot and narrow leaf spot | 1,500–2,000 g/ha | 500 L/ha | Not specified in cited table |
| Cotton | Alternaria leaf spot | 1,250–1,500 g/ha | 500 L/ha | 27 days |
PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval. A dash or “not specified” is not zero days. The current Aniki pack label controls. Do not convert hectare rates without a verified water-volume basis.
Application and Resistance Best Practices
- Use as directed: Apply only to a registered crop-disease combination at the label-directed timing.
- Wettable-powder preparation: Disperse the measured product in a small amount of clean water, then add to the tank while agitating and complete the required water volume.
- Maintain agitation: Keep the suspension moving and obtain even coverage with calibrated equipment.
- Protect all target surfaces: Contact fungicides protect only where spray deposits reach.
- Resistance planning: Use label-approved fungicides from different FRAC groups as separate rotation options where needed.
- No tank-mix recommendation: Related and rotation products shown on this page are standalone alternatives, not instructions to combine products.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Aniki systemic?
No. Propineb is a multi-site contact fungicide.
2. What is its FRAC code?
Propineb is FRAC Group M03.
3. Can Aniki be used against every fungal disease?
No. Use it only for crop-disease combinations permitted on the current label.
4. Is there one dose per litre?
No. Several crops use 300 g/100 L, but chilli uses 500 g/100 L and field-crop rows use hectare rates.
5. Can Aniki be mixed with the recommendations below?
No mixing is being recommended. Each related or rotation product is a standalone alternative and its own label must be followed.
Safety and Disclaimer
