Chariot® 500SC is a systemic fungicide with protective and curative action against various diseases in agricultural crops.

Carbendazim is a widely used, broad-spectrum systemic benzimidazole fungicide and a metabolite of benomyl, acting by inhibiting the development of fungi probably by interfering with spindle formation at mitosis (cell division).

Chariot® 500SC is a systemic fungicide designed for agricultural use. It has both protective and curative properties, targeting a variety of fungal diseases such as angular leaf spot, early blight, rust, and botrytis (grey mold). Its active ingredient is Carbendazim, which works by interfering with fungal cell division.

This fungicide is commonly used on crops like tomatoes, rice, French beans, and ornamentals. It is applied as a foliar spray, with specific application rates depending on the crop and disease. For example, it is recommended to apply it at intervals of 7–14 days when conditions favor disease development

Product Overview

Chariot 500SC is a systemic fungicide known for its protective and curative action against various fungal diseases in agricultural crops. It is widely used in the cultivation of edible crops and ornamentals. The active ingredient in Chariot 500SC is Carbendazim, which is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide.

Mode of Action

Carbendazim, the active ingredient in Chariot 500SC, works by inhibiting the development of fungi. It interferes with spindle formation during mitosis (cell division), effectively stopping the growth and spread of fungal pathogens. This systemic action ensures that the fungicide is absorbed by the plant and distributed throughout its tissues, providing comprehensive protection2.

Target Crops and Diseases: Chariot 500SC is effective against a range of fungal diseases, including Botrytis (grey mould) in roses and French beans, angular leaf spot in French beans, early blight in tomatoes, and rice blast in rice2.

Application Rates: The recommended application rates vary depending on the crop and disease. For example, for roses, a foliar spray of 0.5L/ha in 1000 litres of water is recommended. For French beans, the rate is 0.75L/ha in 1000 litres of water. For tomatoes, the rate is 1L/ha in 200 litres of water2.

Preparation of Spray Mixture: To prepare the spray mixture, fill the spray tank with half the required amount of water. Add the required amount of Chariot 500SC and then fill the tank to the required level. Agitate the mixture to ensure thorough mixing2.

Application Timing: For curative action, apply Chariot 500SC when signs of disease infestation first appear. For preventive action, apply when weather conditions favor disease development. The fungicide should be applied at 7-14 day intervals2.

Compatibility and Phytotoxicity

Chariot 500SC is compatible with commonly used pesticides and foliar fertilizers. However, it is always advisable to conduct a physical compatibility test before mixing commercial quantities or spraying a large area. When used as recommended, Chariot 500SC is non-phytotoxic, meaning it does not harm the plants2.

Resistance Management

Repeated use of Chariot 500SC alone over an extended period may lead to the development of resistant fungal strains. To prevent this, it is recommended to alternate Chariot 500SC with other fungicides that have different modes of action2.

Re-Entry Period

After applying Chariot 500SC, it is safe to re-enter sprayed greenhouses or crop fields once the spray mist has dried. This ensures that there is no risk of exposure to the fungicide2.

Packaging and Availability

Chariot 500SC is available in various pack sizes, including 1L, 100ml, 250ml, 50ml, and 500ml. This makes it convenient for different scales of farming operations.

Chariot 500SC is a versatile and effective fungicide that provides both protective and curative action against a range of fungal diseases in crops. Its systemic action, compatibility with other pesticides, and non-phytotoxic nature make it a valuable tool for farmers and gardeners. By following the recommended application rates and resistance management practices, users can ensure optimal results and sustainable disease control.
