Dithane M45 is a fungicide used to control various fungal diseases in a wide range of crops, including field crops, fruits, vegetables, and miscellaneous crops. The active ingredient is mancozeb (40%), which acts as a protectant. It is used both as a foliar spray and as a seed treatment. For foliar applications, it can be applied via sprayer, including aerial application, though specific rates and equipment requirements apply. For seed treatment, it is used to control diseases like smut or damping-off. When handling, users must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes and socks, and chemical-resistant gloves. If using a dust mask, a NIOSH-approved respirator with a dust filter is required. Users should avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Always follow specific application rates for each crop to avoid exceeding maximum allowed active ingredient levels per acre. Always read the full label for specific timing and weather restrictions.
