Application Notes
Carbendazim is a broad-spectrum systemic antimycotic. Its mode of action is to inhibit the formation of mitotic microtubules in of fungi.1 In a study, 10 ppm minimum inhibitory concentration of carbendazim is most effective toward of Fusarium mangiferae, a fungus that affects mango plants. 2 Carbendazim has also been reported to have cytokinin-like activity effect in plant tissue cultures, e.g., Asparagus, Cordyline and Prunus. 3

Please Note: It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to determine the appropriateness of this product for the specific plants that are being cultured and applications that are being used.
