How it Works
- Multi-site Action: Mancozeb contains multiple active sites on the fungus, which disrupts many metabolic functions, making it difficult for the fungus to develop resistance.
- Contact Action: It works by being in contact with the fungal spores and inhibiting their growth, preventing them from infecting the plant.
