Mode of Action
| Component | Action Type | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Metalaxyl (8%) | Systemic | Absorbed rapidly by leaves, stems, and roots. It translocates upward inside the plant system to inhibit fungal RNA synthesis and stop internal mycelial growth. |
| Mancozeb (64%) | Contact | Stays on the outer plant surface to form a protective barrier. It disrupts enzyme activity across multiple sites in the fungal cell, preventing spore germination. |
