Zineb is a traditional dithiocarbamate fungicide with multi-site activity and purely protective, contact action. The 80% WP formulation is a finely milled wettable powder containing 80% w/w zineb plus wetting and dispersing agents, designed to be dispersed in water and applied by professional sprayers.
Key characteristics of zineb 80 WP fungicide include:
- Active ingredient: Zineb 80% w/w
- Formulation type: Wettable powder (WP)
- Mode of action: Multi-site, protective, contact fungicide
- Target use: Potato, tomato, grape, cucurbits and other crops (depending on local labels)
For buyers who want a reliable zineb fungicide for sale to position as a protective backbone in disease programs, zineb 80% WP remains a cost-effective, proven option.
Mode of Action – How Zineb Works
Zineb fungicide acts as a multi-site inhibitor, interfering with several enzymatic processes in fungal cells. Its mode of action can be summarised as:
- Acting on multiple metabolic pathways in the pathogen, rather than a single enzyme target.
- Disrupting sulfhydryl-containing enzymes, which are critical for energy production and cellular function.
- Providing protective activity on the plant surface, preventing spore germination and penetration.
Because zineb is a contact fungicide and not systemic, it must be present on the plant surface before infection to deliver its protective effect. The multi-site action gives low resistance risk, making zineb 80 WP a valuable partner in rotation and mixture programs for resistance management, particularly in areas with high disease pressure on potatoes and vegetables.
Disease Spectrum
Depending on the local label and registration, zineb 80 WP fungicide may be used to prevent and control a range of foliar diseases, such as:
| Crop | Typical diseases targeted (as per label) |
|---|---|
| Potato | Late blight (as part of a program), early blight, leaf spots |
| Tomato | Early blight, leaf spots, fruit diseases |
| Grapes | Downy mildew, leaf spots (where registered) |
| Cucurbits | Downy mildew, leaf spots |
| Other vegetables | Leaf spots, blights, general foliar diseases (registration-specific) |
The exact disease spectrum and claims depend on national registrations. Many buyers position zineb for potato late blight as part of integrated programs, especially in humid regions where disease cycles are rapid and continuous coverage is needed.
Application Scenarios by Crop
Without specifying any rates or spray intervals, typical professional uses of zineb 80% WP include:
Potato – Late Blight & Foliar Protection
In potato-growing regions with cool, humid conditions, potato late blight is the primary yield-limiting disease. Zineb for potato late blight is often used as a protective barrier, applied preventively or at early stages of risk as part of a multi-product program. Its multi-site contact action helps protect foliage and delay resistance when used in rotation with systemic fungicides.
Tomato – Early Blight and Leaf Diseases
Tomatoes in open field or greenhouse systems are vulnerable to early blight and leaf spots. Zineb 80 WP fungicide can be integrated into spray programs to protect leaves and stems, reducing lesion development and maintaining green leaf area, especially during wet periods.
Grapes & Other Fruit Crops
In grapes and some other fruit crops, zineb may be used against downy mildew and leaf spot diseases where registered. Its protective contact activity suits early- and mid-season programs, particularly when combined with systemic partners in regions with high disease pressure.
Vegetables & Cucurbits
For vegetables and cucurbits, zineb fungicide plays a role in preventive leaf disease management, helping to limit foliar damage from downy mildews and leaf spots in fields and greenhouses, again as part of a broader crop protection program.
Always consult the approved label in your country for the exact crop list, disease targets and application conditions before positioning zineb 80 WP for sale.

Foliar Spraying
Zineb is mainly applied by foliar spraying. Mix Zineb with water at a certain rate and spray evenly on the leaves of the crop.
Concentration
The concentration of Zineb is generally 1000 times liquid, i.e. every 1kg of Zineb can be mixed with 1000kg of water. The concentration can be adjusted according to the needs of different crops and diseases.
Application time
Zineb should be sprayed every 7-10 days during the growing period. Spraying should be made up in time after rain to ensure the control effect.
Precautions
When using Zineb, it is necessary to avoid mixing with alkaline substances and substances containing copper and mercury to avoid affecting the efficacy. At the same time, avoid using it under high temperature and strong light to prevent the agent from decomposing and becoming ineffective.
Formulation Advantages
The 80% WP formulation offers several practical advantages for distributors and growers:
- High active content (80%) – supports cost-efficient shipping and storage.
- Wettable powder – free from organic solvents, compatible with most standard sprayers.
- Good coverage – fine particles and good suspensibility support uniform deposition on foliage.
- Flexible dosage in local markets – high AI allows tailored pack sizes and on-farm flexibility (within label limits).
- Cost-effective choice – well-suited for large-acreage markets with frequent spray schedules.
For B2B buyers targeting price-sensitive segments, zineb 80 fungicide remains an attractive protective option with a well-known technical profile.
