Disclosed herein an improvement in the fungicidal compositions. The present invention relates to a fungicide composition based on dithiocarbamate and another fungicide compound and a method for protecting plants against fungal diseases using said composition. The invention also relates to the water-dispersible granular formulations comprising a combination of mancozeb and a copper fungicide for controlling fungal infection such as Downy Mildew Powdery mildew and Anthracnose.
