Active Ingredient

Carbendazim: The active ingredient in Rodazim 50SC is carbendazim, which is a systemic fungicide.

Versatile Use: This fungicide is suitable for use on a variety of crops, including French beans, rice, melons, butternuts, courgettes, cucumber, tomatoes, flowers (such as roses and carnations), and fruit trees (including mangoes, citrus, and pawpaw). Its versatility makes it a valuable addition to any integrated pest management program.
