MENTOR

(Dual-Action Systemic Fungicide)

MENTOR is a dual-action systemic fungicide developed to manage complex fungal diseases that attack crops both internally and externally. Its combined formulation provides deep systemic movement along with strong surface protection, ensuring complete disease control from roots to foliage.

MENTOR works by inhibiting fungal growth processes while simultaneously preventing spore germination on plant surfaces. The formulation provides both internal and surface-level disease control.

This makes it highly effective in conditions where soil-borne and foliar infections occur together, especially during prolonged moisture and cool weather, helping maintain crop health and productivity.
