Description

Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is a wettable powder combining the systemic fungicide Metalaxyl with the contact fungicide Mancozeb. This combination provides both internal and external protection against a range of fungal and oomycete diseases. Metalaxyl is absorbed quickly by the plant and translocated to growing tips, offering extended protection for up to 14 days. Mancozeb remains on the plant surface, inhibiting spore germination and providing multi-site protective action.

Metalaxyl: A systemic fungicide from the phenylamide group that inhibits nucleic acid synthesis in oomycete pathogens, preventing their growth and development.
Mancozeb: A dithiocarbamate contact fungicide that interferes with multiple enzymatic processes in fungal cells by binding sulfhydryl groups. It protects plants externally by inhibiting spore germination and fungal proliferation.
Together, this combination provides preventive and curative action, making it effective against early and established infections.
