Metalaxyl -M: Penetrates the seed coat and is systemically translocated to both shoots and roots during germination, providing protection from pre-emergence damping-off caused by pythium spp. Good protection from soil and airborne downy mildews is also achieved during and after germination for a period of up to 4 weeks.
