How It Works: Mode of Action
Ninza works by targeting the cell membrane of the fungus. It acts as a metabolic inhibitor, stopping the production of 'Ergosterol', which fungi need to build their cell walls.
- Stops Growth: It blocks the demethylation process, causing the fungal cell membrane to collapse and die.
- Systemic Flow: Once sprayed, it enters the plant and travels upward with the water stream, protecting the stem and upper leaves.
- Curative Kick-back: Even if the infection has started (within 24-48 hours), Ninza can penetrate the tissue and kill the fungus inside.
This triple-action mechanism makes it highly effective against difficult pathogens like Rust and Sheath Blight.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water reduces efficacy.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml/L | 30 |
| Rice | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml/L | 30 |
| Groundnut | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml/L | 15 |
| Tea | 75-100 ml | 150-200 L | 0.5 ml/L | 7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

- Timing: Apply immediately when you see the first symptoms (spots or pustules). For Wheat Karnal Bunt, spray at the booting stage.
- Mixing: Compatible with most pesticides and fertilizers (like Urea). Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
- Coverage: Use at least 200 Liters of water per acre to ensure the chemical reaches the lower leaves and stems.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling spray mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What diseases does Ninza control best?
It is most effective against Rusts (Wheat), Sheath Blight (Rice), Leaf Spots (Groundnut), and Blister Blight (Tea).
2. Is Ninza rainfast?
Yes, Ninza is absorbed into the plant within 1 to 2 hours. If it rains after 2 hours, re-spraying is usually not required.
3. Can I use Ninza for Root Rot?
Ninza is primarily a foliar spray and moves upward in the plant. It is less effective against root diseases unless applied as a specific soil drench.
4. What is the dose for a 15-Litre spray tank?
For most crops, mix approximately 15ml to 20ml of Ninza per 15-Litre tank.
5. Why should I rotate Ninza with other fungicides?
Continuous use of the same chemical can lead to resistance. It is best to alternate Ninza with a different group fungicide (like Mancozeb or Azoxystrobin) for long-term effectiveness.
