Fungicide Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxyl-M 4% Wp

Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxyl-M 4% WP combines the advantages of Mancozeb, a protective fungicide with multisite activity, and Metalaxyl-M, a systemic fungicide with strong curative and translaminar properties. This powerful combination therefore provides effective control against a wide range of destructive fungal diseases, especially downy mildew and late blight in crops such as grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Moreover, it not only protects plants from new infections but also cures existing ones, thereby ensuring healthier growth and higher yields. In addition, Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxyl-M 4% WP, with its broad-spectrum activity, excellent persistence, and user-friendly formulation, has consequently become a trusted solution for farmers worldwide who are seeking reliable crop protection.

Mode of Action

Mancozeb: Acts as a contact fungicide with multisite action. It inhibits spore germination and provides a protective shield on the leaf surface, reducing the risk of resistance development.

Metalaxyl-M: Absorbed quickly by plant tissues and translocated through the xylem, providing systemic and residual protection. It interferes with nucleic acid synthesis in pathogens, offering curative action against fungal infections.

Synergistic Effect: The combination of protective and systemic activity ensures both preventive and curative control, offering longer-lasting disease protection.

Key Markets

Mancozeb + Metalaxyl-M mixtures are highly demanded in Asia, Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe, where downy mildew and late blight cause significant crop losses. In particular, it is a popular choice among growers of vineyards, potato farms, and vegetable plantations. Its proven effectiveness and cost-efficiency make it one of the best-selling fungicides in these regions.

Precautions

Do not apply during strong sunlight or high winds to avoid spray drift.

Alternate with fungicides of different modes of action to prevent resistance development.

Wear protective clothing, gloves, and masks during handling and spraying.

Avoid contamination of water sources, fishponds, and livestock feeding areas.

Observe pre-harvest intervals (PHI) as recommended for each crop (usually 7–14 days).

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from food and animal feed.
