Systemic and Protective Fungicide

Metalaxyl-mancozeb is mixture of two fungicides. Mancozeb and Metalaxyl.

Mancozeb is a carbamate & Metalaxyl is a phenylamide fungicide.

The partner Mancozeb acts by its contact action. Mancozeb is fungitoxic when exposed to air. It is converted to an isothiocyanate, which inactivates the sulphahydral (SH) groups in enzymes of fungi. Sometimes the metals are exchanged between mancozeb and enzymes of fungi, thus causing disturbance in fungal enzyme functioning. Other partner Metalaxyl inhibits protein synthesis, growth and reproduction in fungi. Dual action, broad spectrum fungicide which controls diseases by its preventive as well as curative action. This unique combi fungicide is a best tool for preventing and or delaying resistance development in fungal population of oomycetes. Specialty fungicide to control foliar as well as soil borne diseases caused by oomycetes fungi – Downy mildew, late blight, damping off, phytophthora rots etc. Can be used as seed treatment, foliar spray, nursery drench and in pre harvest sprays to manage post harvest diseases.

Rapid uptake and trans-location towards growing tips helps to protect the plant from oomycetes diseases for longer period of approximately 14 days.
