How It Works
FRAC classifies Hexaconazole as a Group 3 demethylation inhibitor. It targets C14-demethylase in fungal sterol biosynthesis. Nichino describes systemic xylem movement and preventive, curative, eradicative and antisporulant activity. These properties do not expand the product beyond its approved crop and disease uses.
Approved Crops, Diseases and Rates
| Crop | Disease | Formulation rate | Water / dilution | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mango | Powdery mildew | 0.2% (200 ml/100 L water) | As required for tree size and equipment | 27 days |
| Rice (paddy) | Sheath blight | 0.2% (200 ml/100 L water) | As required for the crop and equipment | 40 days |
| Grapes | Powdery mildew | 500–1000 ml/ha | 500 L/ha | 14 days |
PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. Do not convert these rates into a different unit unless the current approved label provides that conversion.
Application and Resistance Guidance

- Maximum sprays, spray interval, crop stage, re-entry period, nozzle and weather limits must be checked on the current Nichino label.
