How It Works: Mode of Action
Hexahit works by targeting the fungus's ability to produce energy and maintain its cell structure.
- Blocks Cell Growth: It inhibits the biosynthesis of Ergosterol, a vital component for the fungal cell membrane.
- Destroys Structure: Without Ergosterol, the fungal cell walls collapse, leading to the death of the pathogen.
- Systemic Flow: Once sprayed, the chemical moves upward (acropetally) through the plant's xylem, ensuring that even new growth is protected from future attacks.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices

- Mixing: Add the required quantity of Hexahit into a small amount of water, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
