Hindustan M-45 - Mancozeb 75% WP - HPM
HPM Hindustan M-45 is a Mancozeb 75% WP multi-site contact fungicide (FRAC Group M03) for label-approved disease control in listed field and horticultural crops. The current CIBRC use table lists 1.5–2 kg/ha in 750 L water for the approved field-crop uses shown below. The public HPM table does not specify a waiting period, so the current pack label must be followed. Mancozeb is banned for use on guava, jowar and tapioca in India; this is a crop-use restriction, not a general product ban.
Item description
HPM Hindustan M-45 Mancozeb 75% WP Fungicide
HPM Hindustan M-45 is a broad-spectrum, protective contact fungicide containing Mancozeb 75% WP. Its registered recommendations cover specified fungal diseases in selected field and horticultural crops when used according to the current product label.
Mancozeb is a dithiocarbamate multi-site fungicide classified in FRAC Group M03. It remains on the treated plant surface and provides protective activity at multiple fungal biochemical sites. Multi-site activity is associated with a low resistance risk, but it does not mean resistance is impossible or that label directions can be ignored.
Why Choose Hindustan M-45?
- Verified formulation: Mancozeb 75% WP contact fungicide.
- Multi-site classification: FRAC Group M03 supports resistance-management planning when the label is followed.
- Crop-specific recommendations: HPM publishes distinct diseases, doses and water volumes for the listed crops.
- Protective use: Designed to protect treated surfaces rather than act as a systemic cure.
- Pack options: This product listing includes 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg variants, subject to availability.

How It Works
Hindustan M-45 remains on treated plant surfaces and acts preventively at multiple fungal biochemical sites. Thorough, label-directed coverage is important for a contact fungicide. HPM also reports manganese and zinc as components of Mancozeb; the product should not be treated as a substitute for a crop-specific nutrient programme.

How to Apply
- Use only on a crop–disease combination listed on the current label.
- Measure the crop-specific formulation rate and water volume shown on the label, then apply with suitable calibrated equipment.
- As a contact fungicide, uniform coverage of the intended plant surface is important.
- Do not add a sticker, spreader or another pesticide based only on website information. HPM states that Mancozeb is incompatible with oxidising agents or acids.
