Description:

AGRIVENTURE METAXY is a highly effective, systemic phenylamide fungicide widely used for seed treatment. It protects seeds and emerging seedlings against downy mildew, damping-off, and root rots caused by Oomycete fungi (like Pythium and Phytophthora spp.). It acts by inhibiting RNA and protein synthesis in the fungal pathogens.

Technical content: Metalaxyl 35% WS

Key Features & Benefits:

• Systemic Action: Quickly absorbed by seeds and roots, it translocates upward into plant tissues to provide long-lasting, internal protection.
• Dual Action: Offers both preventive (protects against future threats) and curative (eliminates existing early-stage infections) benefits.
• Nucleic Acid Inhibitor: Disrupts RNA synthesis in fungal cells, stopping spore germination and mycelial growth.
• Superior Disease Control: Highly effective against downy mildew, late blight, damping-off, white rust, and root rots (caused by oomycetes like Pythium and Phytophthora).
• Improved Crop Establishment: Promotes strong early root development and uniform seedling emergence even under heavy disease pressure.
• Cost-Efficient: Long-lasting systemic protection minimizes the need for frequent reapplication, reducing overall crop management costs.
• Crop Safety: Safe for a wide variety of crops, including cereals (maize, bajra, sorghum), vegetables (potato, tomato), pulses, and oilseeds.
• Easy Application: Formulated as a wettable/water-soluble powder, making it highly suitable for slurry seed treatments, soil drenching, or foliar sprays.

Crops suitability: Maize, Bajra, Sorghum, Sunflower, Mustard, Potatoes and Tomatoes

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): Downy Mildew, White Rust, Damping-Off & Seed Rot, Late & Early Blight / Anthracnose

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• RNA Polymerase Inhibitor: It specifically interferes with the activity of RNA polymerase I, disrupting nucleic acid synthesis within the fungal pathogen.
• Disruption of Growth: By halting protein formation, it restricts mycelial growth, stops the production of spores (sporangial formation), and prevents new infections from establishing.

Mode of application: Seed treatment

Dose:10gm in 15-liter water or 100gm in 1 acre
