METAZIL 25

(Metalaxyl 35% WS)

METAZIL 35 is a systemic fungicide formulated with Metalaxyl 35% WS, designed specifically for seed treatment applications targeting early-stage soil and seed-borne fungal infections. The water-soluble powder formulation ensures uniform coating on seeds, enabling rapid absorption during germination.

Metalaxyl acts internally by protecting emerging roots and shoots from pathogen invasion, particularly under moist soil conditions where disease pressure is high.

Its internal movement allows protection beyond the seed surface, safeguarding young seedlings during vulnerable growth phases and helping maintain healthy early plant development.
