Rallis Contaf Plus Product Overview

Rallis Contaf Plus is a suspension-concentrate fungicide containing Hexaconazole 5% SC. Hexaconazole is a systemic triazole demethylation-inhibitor (DMI) fungicide in FRAC Group 3. The coherent Indian registered-use rows retained for this formulation cover powdery mildew in mango and grapes.

Important formulation boundary: This page is only for Contaf Plus 5% SC. Do not copy the rates for Contaf 5% EC or another hexaconazole formulation. A rice row in the reviewed table is withheld because its dose and water wording is internally anomalous. Product cards below are standalone alternatives, not tank-mix or automatic sequence instructions.

Technical Specifications

Registered Crop, Disease, Dose & PHI

The complete, coherent Hexaconazole 5% SC rows retained from the Government of India major-use table are shown below. Keep every formulation rate with its crop, water direction and pre-harvest interval.

If the current pack label differs, follow the current approved label.

Withheld rice row: No rice/sheath-blight dose, water volume or PHI is published here because the reviewed table repeats tree-specific language that is internally inconsistent for rice. A legible current Contaf Plus pack or corrected regulator source is required.

Mode of Action & Resistance Stewardship

Hexaconazole inhibits sterol biosynthesis through the DMI target site. FRAC generally recognises cross-resistance within Group 3 and rates the group as medium risk, so another Group 3 fungicide should not automatically be treated as a different-mode-of-action rotation partner. Follow the label and a locally appropriate resistance-management programme.

Application & Safety Practices

• Read the current pack label and leaflet before measuring or spraying.
• Use only on a label-approved crop and disease at its stated dose, water volume and PHI.
• Do not convert the area rates into a universal pump, tank or per-acre rate.
• Wear the PPE specified on the current label and use calibrated, leak-free equipment.
• Do not assume tank-mix compatibility; combine products only where both labels permit it and qualified advice confirms it.
• Follow all label directions for first aid, re-entry, storage, transport, environmental protection and disposal.
