Descriptions

Technical Name: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP

Formulation: Wettable Powder (WP)

Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is a fungicide formulation that combines two active ingredients, metalaxyl and mancozeb, to provide effective control against a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in crops.

How to use: Foliar application.

Target disease: Downy Mildew, Late blight, Phytophthora foot rot, Damping off, Leaf blight, Black Shank (soil drench at sowing and spray at 30 days after sowing), Downy mildew, White rust and Alternaria blight.

Target Crop: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is suitable for a wide range of crops Mustard, Pearl millet, Tobacco, Black Pepper, Potato, Grapes, and others

Dosage: 300-500gm/acre or 30-50gm per pump.

The recommended dosage may vary depending on the specific crop and disease. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local agricultural recommendations. Pre-harvest Interval (PHI): Adhere to the recommended preharvest interval to ensure that residues are within acceptable limits at the time of harvest.

Mode of Action: 

1. Metalaxyl (8%): Metalaxyl is a systemic fungicide that is absorbed by plant tissues and translocated upward, providing internal protection against fungal pathogens. It inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with their RNA synthesis.

2. Mancozeb (64%): Mancozeb is a contact fungicide with protective action. It forms a protective barrier on the plant surface, preventing the germination of fungal spores. It also inhibits the development of fungal cell membranes, disrupting their normal functioning.

Application Method: Foliar spray: Dilute the required amount of Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP in water and apply evenly to the foliage using suitable spraying equipment.

Safety Precautions:  Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and application. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and livestock.

Compatibility: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is generally compatible with other commonly used pesticides. However, it is advisable to conduct a compatibility test before tank-mixing with other products.

Benefits: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP offers several benefits in the protection of crops against fungal diseases. Here are some key advantages of using this fungicide formulation:

1. Broad Spectrum Control: The combination of metalaxyl and mancozeb provides broadspectrum control against various fungal diseases. It is effective against pathogens causing diseases such as late blight, downy mildew, early blight, anthracnose, rust, and various leaf spot diseases.

2. Dual Modes of Action: Tebuconazole provides broadspectrum control, meaning it is effective against various fungal pathogens. It is commonly used to manage diseases such as powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spot in different crops.

   Metalaxyl (8%): Acts systemically by penetrating plant tissues and providing internal protection against fungal pathogens.

   Mancozeb (64%): Works as a protective contact fungicide, forming a barrier on the plant surface to prevent the germination of fungal spores.

3. Preventive and Curative Action:  Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP not only provides preventive action by forming a protective barrier on plant surfaces but also offers curative action by inhibiting the growth of existing fungal infections within the plant tissues.

4. Residual Activity: The formulation exhibits residual activity, providing longer protection against fungal diseases. This can reduce the frequency of applications and enhance the overall efficiency of disease management.

5. Versatility:  Suitable for a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamental plants, and field crops, making it a versatile solution for diverse agricultural settings.

6. User-Friendly Formulation: As a wettable powder (WP), the product is easy to handle and can be conveniently mixed with water for application as a foliar spray. This allows for efficient and uniform coverage of crops.

7. Cost Effective: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP provides effective disease control at a relatively lower cost compared to some other fungicide formulations. This can contribute to cost savings for farmers.

8. Compatibility: Generally compatible with other commonly used pesticides, allowing for tank-mixing with other products to address multiple pest issues simultaneously.

9. Reduced Resistance Risk: The combination of different active ingredients with distinct modes of action can help reduce the risk of the development of resistance in fungal populations. This makes Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP a valuable tool in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

10. Enhanced Crop Health: By controlling fungal diseases, the fungicide contributes to overall crop health and vigor. Healthy crops are more likely to achieve their full yield potential.

Methods Of Application: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is typically applied as a foliar spray to provide effective control against fungal diseases on crops. Here are the recommended methods of application:

1. Foliar Spray: Sulfur is a crucial component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are essential for the structure and function of plant cellsTebuconazole is often applied as a foliar spray. Mix the required amount of Tebuconazole 25.9% EC with water according to the recommended dosage provided on the product label. Use suitable equipment, such as a backpack sprayer, tractor-mounted sprayer, or aerial application, to ensure uniform coverage of the plant foliage.

   Dilution: Measure the required amount of Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP as per the recommended dosage for the specific crop and disease.

   Mixing: Add the measured amount of the wettable powder to a partially filled spray tank with agitation. Continue agitation during the entire mixing and spraying process.

   Water Volume: Use the recommended amount of water to achieve thorough coverage. The water volume may vary depending on the crop and target disease. Adequate coverage is essential for effective control.

   Spraying Equipment: Use suitable spraying equipment, such as backpack sprayers, knapsack sprayers, or tractor-mounted sprayers, to apply the solution evenly over the crop foliage.

   Application Timing: Apply the foliar spray at the recommended timing based on the crop stage and disease development. Follow the product label instructions for specific recommendations.

2. Preventive and Curative Application: Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP can be applied preventively to protect crops from fungal diseases before they occur.In cases where fungal infections are already present, the fungicide can also be applied curatively to inhibit the further development and spread of the diseases.

3. Repeat Applications: Depending on the severity of the disease and the crop's susceptibility, repeat applications may be necessary. Follow the recommended spray intervals specified on the product label. Be cautious not to exceed the maximum number of applications allowed during a growing season.

4. Tank-Mixing:  Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP is generally compatible with other pesticides. However, conduct a compatibility test before tank-mixing with other products. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for tank mixing and ensure that the combination does not negatively affect the efficacy of the fungicide.

5. Adherence to Safety Precautions:  Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during handling and application, including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of dust or spray mist, and wash thoroughly after handling the product.

6. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children and livestock.
