Panther - Captan 50% WP - HPM

HPM Panther Captan 50% WP Fungicide – Product Overview

HPM Panther is a wettable-powder fungicide containing Captan 50% w/w. Captan is a protective, contact fungicide used to help prevent listed fungal diseases when applied according to the current product label.

Panther is listed in India for apple scab, cherry brown rot, grape downy mildew, and early or late blight of potato and tomato. Because a contact protectant works on treated plant surfaces, careful timing and thorough, even coverage are important. It should not be described as a systemic or curative fungicide.

Important: Use this product only for the crops, diseases, dose, water volume, timing, and precautions printed on the current pack label. Product information can change with regulatory or label updates.

Why Choose HPM Panther?

• Protective contact action: Captan remains on treated plant surfaces and helps prevent fungal infection when coverage is complete and application is timely.
• Multi-site fungicide: Captan is classified by FRAC in Group M04, a multi-site contact activity group.
• Label-listed disease range: Current Indian major-use information includes scab, brown rot, downy mildew, and early or late blight on specified crops.
• Wettable-powder formulation: The 50% WP formulation is diluted in water and applied as a spray in accordance with label directions.
• Resistance-management value: A multi-site protectant can be useful within a label-compliant disease-management programme. Rotation and any programme design should follow the label and local expert advice.

Technical Specifications

How Captan Works

1. Protective deposit: The spray forms a contact layer on covered plant surfaces.
2. Multi-site activity: Captan affects multiple fungal biochemical processes rather than a single target site.
3. Prevention-focused use: Application before or at the earliest label-recommended stage is important because Captan is a protectant, not a systemic cure.

Rain, new plant growth, disease pressure, and spray coverage can affect protection. Reapplication timing must come from the current label or qualified local agricultural advice.
