Audit - Propineb 70% WP - Nichino

Nichino Audit Fungicide: Product Overview

Nichino Audit contains Propineb 70% in a WP formulation. Nichino describes it as a broad-spectrum contact fungicide for preventive and protective treatment.

Propineb is classified by FRAC in Group M 03, covering dithiocarbamates and related fungicides with multi-site contact activity. Audit therefore belongs in a crop disease-management plan as a surface protectant, used only on the crop and disease printed on the current Indian pack.

Nichino lists eight crops for Audit: apple, pomegranate, potato, chilli, tomato, grapes, rice and cotton. The Government of India PPQS table confirms the corresponding Propineb 70% WP uses and supplies crop-specific formulation concentration or hectare rate, water guidance and pre-harvest interval. A single generic dose must not replace those separate directions.

Verified Product Features

• Contact protection: Nichino identifies Audit as a contact fungicide rather than a fully systemic product.
• Preventive and protective positioning: use it according to the label's disease-management timing and obtain even coverage of the target surface.
• Multi-site classification: FRAC places Propineb in M 03, the dithiocarbamate and related multi-site contact group.
• Defined Indian uses: the official sources provide named crops and diseases instead of an unsupported “all crops” claim.
• Manufacturer-stated formulation attributes: Nichino describes rapid and lasting activity, rainfastness and a zinc-related phytotonic effect. No numeric duration, rainfast time or zinc percentage is claimed here.

Mode of Action and Resistance Stewardship

FRAC describes M 03 fungicides as chemicals with multi-site contact activity. Propineb stays in the protectant category and should be applied so that the intended crop surface receives uniform coverage. The classification should be written as a FRAC code, not an IRAC code.

Multi-site classification does not justify unlimited repeat use. Follow the current Audit label and local disease-management advice. If a standalone rotation product is needed, select a different FRAC group whose own Indian label covers the same crop, pathogen and application timing. Do not infer compatibility, and do not present any Related or Upsell item as a tank-mix partner.

Registered Crops, Diseases, Dose, Water and PHI

PHI = pre-harvest interval. “Not specified” does not mean zero days. Use the current Audit pack as the final authority. For the first six crops, PPQS gives concentration-based directions and variable water volume, so do not invent a fixed tank, pump or hectare conversion.

Application and Label Checks

• Confirm the crop, disease and application timing on the current physical Audit pack before preparing the spray.
• Measure the formulation rate for that crop and use the label's water and application-equipment directions. Coverage requirements vary with crop stage, canopy and tree size.
• Follow the current pack for wettable-powder mixing order, agitation, spray equipment, maximum applications, weather restrictions and re-entry.
• No universal per-litre dose applies to rice or cotton, and concentration-based orchard directions must not be converted into a fixed acre dose without the correct water volume.
• No tank-mix recommendation is made. Apply any standalone alternative separately and only under its own current Indian label.

Safety and Handling

The allowed official sources did not provide an Audit-specific statutory leaflet with verified toxicity colour, antidote, first-aid wording, named PPE components or numeric re-entry interval. Do not invent those fields. Read the current physical pack before opening the product, wear every item of PPE specified there, and follow its directions for exposure response, storage, spill management and disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Audit a contact or systemic fungicide?
Nichino identifies Audit as a broad-spectrum contact fungicide for preventive and protective treatment.

What does FRAC M 03 mean?
It is the FRAC group for dithiocarbamates and related chemicals with multi-site contact activity, including Propineb.

What is the Audit dose?
It depends on the crop. Use the matching row above and the current pack; do not apply one general dose across all eight crops.

What is the rice PHI?
The cited PPQS row displays no waiting-period value. This does not mean zero days; follow the current Audit pack and do not publish a guessed number.

Can Audit be tank-mixed with another fungicide?
No universal compatibility claim is made here. Related and rotation products are standalone choices, not mixing partners.

Safety Disclaimer

Always read and follow the current Nichino Audit label and leaflet. They are the final authority for crop, disease, dose, water volume, application timing, equipment, PPE, first aid, storage, re-entry, compatibility, disposal and PHI.
