Technical Composition
UPL Saaf is formulated with two active ingredients:

- Mancozeb: A contact fungicide that creates a protective barrier on the plant surface, preventing fungal spore penetration.
Mode of Action
UPL Saaf Fungicide employs a dual-action approach:
- Systemic Action: Carbendazim is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, providing internal protection.
- Contact Action: Mancozeb forms a protective layer on the plant surface, effectively preventing the entry of fungal spores.
