Syngenta Cuman L is an advanced, liquid organic contact fungicide designed to protect fruit, vegetable, and plantation crops from a wide spectrum of devastating fungal diseases. Formulated as a smooth Suspension Concentrate (SC), it acts as a highly effective preventive shield when sprayed on the foliage of plants.
Technical Overview
Active Ingredient: Ziram 27% SC (Zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate).
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate / Colloidal Liquid). Unlike older wettable powders, this liquid formula dissolves instantly in water without generating toxic dust clouds.
Mode of Action (Multi-Site Contact): Cuman L is a Group M03 multi-site contact fungicide. It forms a durable protective barrier on the leaf and fruit surfaces. It works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane's integrity, shutting down respiration, and blocking spore germination.
Key Benefits
Resistance Management: Because it attacks multiple metabolic sites within the fungus simultaneously, target pathogens cannot easily mutate or develop resistance to it. This makes it an excellent rotation partner.
Zinc Nutrition Boost: Since it is a zinc-based formulation (Ziram), Cuman L delivers a beneficial micronutrient boost to the plant. This corrects subtle zinc deficiencies, resulting in greener, healthier foliage.
Superior Coverage: The ultra-fine colloidal particles spread evenly over the plant, ensuring there are no gaps left unprotected for fungal spores to exploit.
Crop-Specific Uses & Dosages
For optimal performance, apply preventatively at the early stages of disease appearance. Use 300 to 400 Liters of water per acre to ensure thorough canopy coverage.
Crop | Target Diseases Controlled | Dosage per Acre | Dosage per Liter of Water | Waiting Period (PHI)* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Grapes | Downy Mildew, Anthracnose (Bird's Eye Rot) | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | Varies (Stop after fruit set) |
Apple | Apple Scab | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | 21 Days |
Tomato & Potato | Early Blight (Alternaria) | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | 3 Days |
Banana | Leaf Spot | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | 3 Days |
Peach | Brown Rot | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | 7 Days |
Pear | Shot Hole | 920 to 1400 ml | 3.0 to 3.5 ml | 7 Days |
*Note on PHI: The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is the required wait time between the final spray and harvesting the crop.
Application Guidelines
Proactive Application: Apply as a preventative spray before the infection spreads. For example, apply at the Green Tip stage in Apple or early shoot emergence in Grapes.
Coverage: Since it is a contact fungicide, use hollow cone nozzles to achieve a fine, uniform mist that covers both the upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Mixing: Fill your spray tank halfway with water, shake the Cuman L bottle thoroughly, pour in the measured dose, and top off with the remaining water while agitating.
Safety Warning: Always wear proper protective gear (gloves, mask, and goggles). Avoid letting the chemical drift into nearby aquatic habitats, fish ponds, or water bodies.
