Item description
HPM Nidar Myclobutanil 10% WP Fungicide: Product Overview
HPM Nidar is a systemic fungicide containing Myclobutanil 10% WP. HPM identifies Nidar as a triazole fungicide with protective and curative activity. The current Government of India major-use list registers this formulation for apple scab, grape powdery mildew, and chilli powdery mildew, leaf spot and die-back.
Myclobutanil belongs to FRAC Group 3, the demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides. Use Nidar only on a crop and disease printed on the current container label. Diagnosis matters: a fungicide will not control insect, mite, nutrient or bacterial problems.
Why Choose HPM Nidar?
- Systemic fungicide: The active ingredient is absorbed into treated plant tissue, supporting protection beyond the spray deposit.
- Protective and curative activity: HPM describes Nidar for prevention and control of the label-listed fungal diseases.
- Focused registered uses: The approved scope is clearly defined for apple, grape and chilli, helping farmers avoid unsupported crop claims.
- Resistance-group clarity: FRAC Group 3 identification makes it easier to plan label-compliant resistance management with a qualified crop adviser.
- Wettable-powder formulation: The 10% WP formulation is supplied in measured packs for label-directed preparation.

How Myclobutanil Works
Myclobutanil is a demethylation inhibitor. FRAC places it in Group 3 because it acts at C14-demethylase in fungal sterol biosynthesis. Interfering with this pathway restricts production of sterols needed for normal fungal membrane development and growth.
Group 3 is a single-site mode-of-action group. FRAC advises that cross-resistance can occur among DMI fungicides active against the same fungus. Do not treat another Group 3 product as a true rotation partner merely because its trade name is different.
Registered Crops and Diseases
| Crop | Registered disease |
|---|---|
| Apple | Scab |
| Grape | Powdery mildew |
| Chilli | Powdery mildew, leaf spot and die-back |
Verified Dose, Water Volume and PHI
The Government of India major-use table expresses the formulation concentration as 0.04%. Keep the crop-specific water volume and pre-harvest interval (PHI) together; do not transfer one crop's directions to another.
| Crop | Formulation concentration | Water volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | 0.04% | 10 L per tree | 21 days |
| Grape | 0.04% | 500 L/ha | 15 days |
| Chilli | 0.04% | 500 L/ha | 3 days |
PHI is the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. The current pack label supplied with the product is the final instruction; use its measurement, spray method and restrictions.
Application and Resistance-Management Guidance
- Confirm the diagnosis: Match both crop and fungal disease to the current label before preparing the spray.
- Measure accurately: Follow the label's mixing order for the WP formulation and maintain agitation as directed.
- Cover the target: Use the label-specified water volume and application equipment for even coverage without runoff.
- Protect Group 3: Follow label limits and obtain local advice on rotation with an effective, non-cross-resistant mode of action.
- Weather and mixing: Do not rely on a fixed rain-fast period or tank-mix claim unless it appears on the current label.
Frequently Asked Questions

No. Nidar is a Myclobutanil 10% WP fungicide for the label-listed fungal diseases.
2. Which crops are registered?

3. Can one dose be used for every crop?
No. Follow the crop-specific concentration, water volume, PHI and directions on the supplied label.
4. Is chilli fruit rot a listed Nidar claim?
The current government entry lists chilli powdery mildew, leaf spot and die-back. Do not extend that entry to fruit rot unless the supplied label explicitly does so.
5. Can Nidar be tank-mixed?
Only when the current product labels permit the combination and a qualified local adviser confirms compatibility.
6. Can I rotate Nidar with another triazole?
Another triazole may also be FRAC Group 3 and should not automatically be treated as a different mode of action.
