Tata Contaf Plus Fungicide (Hexaconazole 5% SC) – Systemic Triazole Protection

Fungal diseases like powdery mildew, sheath blight, rust, and leaf spots can quickly reduce plant strength and yield. Tata Contaf Plus is a systemic triazole fungicide with Hexaconazole 5% SC that gets absorbed into the plant and helps control infection from inside. When used at the right stage with proper coverage, it supports healthier foliage, better recovery, and long-lasting disease protection in crops across cereals, oilseeds, horticulture, and plantation.

Key Benefits (Farmer Point of View)

• Broad-spectrum control: Useful against common fungal diseases like powdery mildew, sheath blight, rust, leaf spot, brown spot, and stem rot.
• Systemic action: Moves inside the plant, so protection is stronger than only surface-level sprays.
• Preventive + curative support: Works best at early symptoms and also helps stop further spread.
• Long-lasting performance: Helps keep the crop protected for a longer window with proper timing and coverage.
• Low dose, practical use: Effective at a small per-liter dose, making it cost-friendly in the field.
