Monceren fungicide is a non-systemic, contact fungicide containing pencycuron 22.9% SC. It is highly effective against Rhizoctonia solani, the causal organism of sheath blight in rice and black scurf in potatoes. Monceren forms a stable protective layer on plant surfaces, preventing fungal penetration and growth without being absorbed into the plant system.
Monceren technical formulation ensures prolonged protection by inhibiting mycelial development on leaves, stems, and tubers. In paddy, it controls initial sheath blight infections and stops their upward spread. In potatoes, Monceren promotes early emergence, clean skin finish, and uniform tuber size by eliminating black scurf at the seed stage.
Farmers using Monceren how to use recommendations benefit from improved disease management with no phytotoxic effects. The fungicide’s lipophilic nature makes it rainfast and a reliable option for integrated pest management.
