Sanipeb Fungicide (Propineb 70% WP) - Zinc Enriched Protection

Advanced broad-spectrum contact fungicide for superior disease control and visibly greener crops.

Sanipeb (Propineb 70% WP) is a sophisticated contact fungicide that goes beyond simple disease control. Manufactured by PI Industries, it features a unique polymeric formulation that releases Zinc ($Zn^{2+}$) ions, providing a dual benefit: it creates a strong shield against fungal pathogens and simultaneously boosts crop health.

Best For: Farmers looking for a "Antiresistance" solution that protects crops from diseases like Scab, Blight, and Mildew while correcting Zinc deficiency for higher yields.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• ⏱️
  Long-Lasting Residual Action: Unlike simple salts, Sanipeb's polymeric structure releases the active ingredient gradually, providing extended protection on the leaf surface.
• ?️
  Superior Resistance Management: As a Multi-site inhibitor (FRAC M3), it attacks fungi at multiple points, making it nearly impossible for pathogens to develop resistance. It is the perfect tank-mix partner for systemic fungicides.
• ⏳
  The "Greening Effect": Sanipeb supplies essential Zinc directly to the leaves. This boosts the production of growth hormones (Auxins), resulting in greener, healthier, and more productive crops.
• ?️
  Excellent Rainfastness: Formulated with high-quality stickers, it bonds tenaciously to the plant cuticle. Once dried (3-4 hours), it resists washing off during rain or irrigation.
• ?
  Safe & Broad Spectrum: It has a low toxicity profile for beneficial insects and is effective against Oomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Deuteromycetes fungi.

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Sanipeb acts as a defensive shield on the plant surface. It is a contact protectant that must be applied before the disease enters the plant tissue.

1. Germination Blockade: When a fungal spore lands on a treated leaf, the moisture helps release the active Propineb. This prevents the spore from germinating and stops the germ tube from penetrating the leaf.
2. Metabolic Disruption: It disrupts fungal respiration (energy production), carbohydrate synthesis, and cell membrane integrity, causing rapid fungal death.
3. Nutritional Boost: Simultaneously, the polymer degrades to release Zinc, which enters the plant cuticle to correct deficiency and improve stress tolerance.

Note: Sanipeb does not cure established infections inside the leaf; it prevents new infections from starting.

Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Essential for export crops like Grapes.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Timing: Use Sanipeb prophylactically (preventatively). Start spraying before disease symptoms appear or immediately upon weather warnings.
• Mixing: Premix the powder with a little water to form a smooth slurry before adding it to the main tank. Maintain agitation during spraying to prevent settling.
• Compatibility: Compatible with most neutral insecticides. Do NOT mix with alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur, as this destroys the fungicide.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near water bodies.
