Krishigiri Metcoze Fungicide - Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP

Krishigiri Metcoze is a broad-spectrum fungicide containing Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP — a combination of a systemic and a contact fungicide that works together to protect crops from both inside and outside simultaneously. Metalaxyl gets absorbed into the plant and moves through its vascular system, stopping fungal infections that have already entered the plant. Mancozeb forms a protective shield on the leaf surface, blocking fungal spores from entering in the first place. Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP offers complete disease protection to grapes, potatoes, vegetables, and other crops.
