IFFCO-MC Kinki Fungicide (Hexaconazole 5% SC) | Ultimate Disease Control
Protect your Rice, Mango, and Groundnut yields with the power of advanced Systemic Triazole technology.
Kinki (Hexaconazole 5% SC) is a premium systemic fungicide manufactured by IFFCO-MC. Unlike older formulations that can burn leaves, Kinki uses a modern Suspension Concentrate (SC) formula. It provides triple-action protection—preventing, curing, and eradicating fungal infections like Sheath Blight and Powdery Mildew effectively and economically.
Best For: Farmers seeking a safe, non-burning solution for Sheath Blight in Paddy and Powdery Mildew in horticultural crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Triple Action Power: Acts as a Protective, Curative, and Eradicant agent. It stops infection before it starts and cures existing disease spots.
-
🛡️
Systemic Protection: Absorbed quickly by the plant, it moves upward (acropetally) to protect new leaves that weren't even sprayed.
-
⏳
Translaminar Action: Penetrates the leaf surface to kill hidden fungus on the underside of leaves, ensuring 360-degree cleaning.
-
🌧️
Excellent Rainfastness: Once the spray dries on the leaf, it resists washing off by rain, providing long-duration control.
-
🌿
Superior Crop Safety (SC Formula): Water-based SC formulation prevents leaf burn (phytotoxicity) and flower drop, making it safer than older EC liquids.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kinki belongs to the DMI (Demethylation Inhibitor) class of fungicides. It targets the fungal cell structure with precision.
[Image of Hexaconazole mode of action diagram]- Stops Cell Building: It inhibits the production of Ergosterol, a vital compound fungi need to build their cell walls.
- Destroys the Fungus: Without strong walls, the fungal cells collapse and leak, stopping the growth of the fungus immediately.
- Blocks Reproduction: It prevents the fungus from producing spores, stopping the disease from spreading to healthy plants.
Because it moves systematically inside the plant, Kinki provides "inside-out" protection that surface sprays cannot match.
Target Crops & Pests
[Image of Sheath Blight in Rice]| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) |
| Mango & Grapes | Powdery Mildew |
| Groundnut | Tikka Disease (Leaf Spot) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 400 ml | 200 L | 2 ml | 40 |
| Grapes & Groundnut | 200 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1 - 2 ml | 14 (Grape) / 30 (GN) |
| Mango | Tree Specific | Variable | 2 ml | 27 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply prophylactically (preventively) or immediately when the first disease spots appear. For Rice, apply between tillering and booting stages.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well. Create a slurry (pre-mix) in a small amount of water before adding to the main tank to ensure even suspension.
- Coverage: Use sufficient water volume (200 Liters/acre) to ensure the spray penetrates deep into the crop canopy, especially for Rice.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not mix with highly alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Hexaconazole EC and SC (Kinki)?
Kinki is an SC (Suspension Concentrate) water-based formula. Unlike EC (Emulsifiable Concentrates) which use petroleum solvents, Kinki does not cause leaf burn (phytotoxicity) or flower drop, making it safer for sensitive crops.
2. Does Kinki cure Sheath Blight in Rice?
Yes, Kinki is highly effective against Sheath Blight. It works best when applied at the early appearance of lesions on the leaf sheath.
3. Is Kinki compatible with other pesticides?
Yes, Kinki is compatible with most neutral insecticides and fungicides (like Ziram or Mancozeb). However, do not mix it with alkaline products like Lime Sulphur or Bordeaux mixture.
4. What is the rainfastness of Kinki?
Kinki has good rainfastness once the spray deposit has dried completely on the leaf surface. It is rapidly absorbed into the plant system.
5. Is Kinki safe for honeybees?
While Kinki is safer than older chemicals, it is moderately toxic. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours (morning/late afternoon) to protect pollinators.
