Protecting Crops with Metaxil: A Professional Fungicide Solution

Metaxil is a specialized combined fungicide produced by ZAO Firma August (Vurnary, Russia). Designed to tackle a broad range of fungal pathogens, it offers a dual-action approach by combining contact and systemic components. This makes it a go-to choice for producers aiming to protect potato, tomato, cucumber, onion, and grape crops from aggressive diseases.

How the Formulation Works

The product utilizes a synergy between contact-acting mancozeb and systemically-acting metalaxyl. While mancozeb creates a protective shield on the plant’s surface, preventing spores from germinating, metalaxyl is absorbed into the plant’s tissues. This systemic movement ensures that new growth remains protected, even if the coverage was not perfect during the initial spraying.

Practical Application Guidelines

• Key Targets: Effective against Late blight (Phytophthora), Mildew, Peronosporosis, Septoria, Fusarium wilt, and Macrosporiosis.
• Dosage and Regimen: Application rate ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 kg/ha. Users can perform a maximum of 3 treatments per season.
• Safety and Harvesting: Classified as a hazard class 3 product. To ensure safety, the final treatment must be applied no later than 30 days before harvest.

As a wettable powder, Metaxil is designed for ease of mixing in industrial agricultural tanks. Given the challenges posed by weather-dependent fungal outbreaks, this fungicide provides the stability and depth of protection required for high-yield farming practices in diverse environments.
