Metalaxyl-M Fungicide 480 G/L EC 90% TC

Metalaxyl-M is a broad-spectrum fungicide that primarily inhibits the synthesis of proteins and ribosomal RNA in fungi. It consists of the highly active R-isomer derived from the two isomers of metalaxyl and exhibits stereoisomeric activity. Metalaxyl-M effectively controls plant diseases caused by downy mildew pathogens, late blight pathogens, and pythium pathogens.

Metalaxyl-M demonstrates higher efficacy than metalaxyl, requiring only 62% of the dosage of metalaxyl while providing a longer residual effect, which significantly enhances safety for both the environment and users. Additionally, Metalaxyl-M degrades faster in soil, further improving its environmental compatibility.

Features of Metalaxyl-M

1. Strong Systemic Activity

When the agent is sprayed on crops, Metalaxyl-M can be absorbed by seeds, roots, stems, and leaves, and is then translocated to various parts of the plant. This provides effective protection and treatment for the crops.

2. High Safety Profile

Metalaxyl-M is an upgraded version of metalaxyl. Under the same conditions, only half the dosage of metalaxyl is required, enhancing safety for both the environment and the user. It is quickly absorbed by the plant, resistant to rain wash-off, and generally does not cause phytotoxicity.

3. Wide Range of Applications

Metalaxyl-M effectively controls diseases caused by downy mildew, late blight, and pythium. It can be applied to many crops, such as:

– Downy mildew and late blight in melons
– Late blight in tomatoes and potatoes
– Black leg disease in potatoes
– Downy mildew in cabbage
– Late blight in chives
– Downy mildew in onions and spinach
– Late blight in peppers
– Cottony blight in tomatoes
– Downy mildew in grapes
– Damping-off disease in citrus seedlings, etc.
