Rickstin Fungicide – Carbendazim 50% WP for Crop Disease Control

Rickstin is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide with Carbendazim 50% WP as its active ingredient. It protects your crops by stopping fungal growth both preventively and curatively. Once applied, Rickstin moves inside the plant through the sap, targeting fungal infections in leaves and roots. It works by preventing fungi from developing germ tubes, appressoria, and spreading mycelia, which are essential for disease progression.

This fungicide is ideal for controlling diseases like blast and sheath blight in paddy, powdery mildew in sugar beet and peas, brown rot in maize, anthracnose in grapes and tobacco, and scab in apples. It can be used as seed treatment, soil drench, or foliar spray, offering versatile application methods suited to Indian farming needs.

Rickstin’s formulation is cost-effective and strong, making it a preferred choice for long-term crop protection. For resistance management, alternate its use with contact fungicides or mix with products like Indofil M-45. Learn more about integrated disease management on our Fungicide Guide.
