Mahindra Tarar is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide, manufactured by Mahindra Summit Agri Sciences. It is specifically designed for Chilli, Onion, and Rice crops, where fungal diseases can cause significant yield and quality losses if left unmanaged. It stops fungal spores from germinating before infection begins and eliminates infections already established inside the plant. Mahindra Tarar fungicide maintains flag leaves disease-free and healthy in Paddy, which directly supports complete grain filling and improved grain size at harvest. It has a broad application window — giving farmers flexibility in spray timing without missing the critical treatment period.
Key Features & Benefits Of Mahindra Tarar:
Flag Leaf Protection: Tarar keeps the topmost leaf of the Paddy plant healthy and disease-free, ensuring the crop has enough energy for complete grain filling and better grain weight at harvest.
Anti-Sporulant Action: Mahindra Tarar fungicide inhibits spore germination and prevents disease from spreading to healthy plant parts and neighboring plants in the field.
Greening Effect: It keeps leaves greener and more productive for longer — treated crops show better photosynthetic activity and stronger growth.
Uniform Flowering: Mahindra Tarar fungicide promotes uniform and healthy flowering by keeping crop foliage disease-free during the critical reproductive stage.
Resistance Management: Two active ingredients from different chemical groups attack the fungus at two different sites, reducing the risk of resistance build-up over time.
Wide Crop Coverage: Mahindra Tarar fungicide is registered for Chilli, Onion, and Rice — also effective across Wheat, Tomato, Potato, and other field and vegetable crops.

How To Use Mahindra Tarar Fungicide— Application Instructions:
Shake the Mahindra Tarar fungicide bottle well before measuring the required dose.
Measure the required quantity carefully and add to a sprayer tank containing about one-third the required water volume.
Fill with remaining clean water while stirring continuously until the suspension is completely uniform.
Apply evenly across the entire crop canopy, covering upper and lower leaf surfaces thoroughly.
For Paddy, ensure the spray reaches the flag leaf and lower sheaths where Sheath Blight infection starts.
For Onion, ensure thorough coverage of all leaf surfaces where Purple Blotch first appears.
Rinse the sprayer with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Mahindra Tarar fungicide in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool, and wind speed is low — apply preventively before disease appears, especially during warm and humid conditions when fungal spread is fastest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — Mahindra Tarar Fungicide:
Q1. What is Mahindra Tarar fungicide used for?
Controls Sheath Blight in Rice, Fruit Rot and Dieback in Chilli, Purple Blotch in Onion, Rust in Wheat, and Early and Late Blight in Tomato and Potato through systemic preventive and curative action.
Q2. Why is flag leaf protection important in Paddy?
The flag leaf is the topmost leaf in Paddy and is directly responsible for supplying energy to the developing grain in the panicle. Keeping the flag leaf healthy and disease-free through Tarar application ensures complete grain filling, better grain size, and improved overall yield at harvest.
Q3. What is the anti-sporulant effect of Mahindra Tarar?
Tarar fungicide inhibits spore germination and prevents the fungus from producing and releasing new spores onto healthy plant parts and neighboring plants — stopping the disease from spreading further even after infection has already begun.
Q4. Is Mahindra Tarar fungicide preventive or curative?
Both — Tarar fungicide can be applied preventively before disease appears as a protective spray, and also curatively after infection has started. The broad application window gives farmers flexibility in spray timing without missing the critical treatment period.
Q5. What is the best time to spray Mahindra Tarar fungicide?
Early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool — apply preventively before disease appears, especially during warm and humid conditions when Sheath Blight, Purple Blotch, and Fruit Rot spread fastest.
