Metalaxyl-M fungicide for controlling root rot and seedling death Seedling death and root rot are considered serious problems at the beginning of cultivation because they directly affect germination, root strength, and seedling stability. These infections often appear as sudden wilting, weak growth, blackening or rotting in the root area, lack of uniformity within lines, and a clear decline in crop strength. Meta Gold 480 EC helps combat these diseases when used in soil only and at appropriate doses, especially at the start of planting or immediately after germination. Its effectiveness is maximized when the fungicide solution reaches the root zone, so it is preferred to apply it with irrigation water or around planting lines instead of a standalone foliar spray.

Uses of Meta Gold in vegetables, potatoes, and ornamental plants Meta Gold 480 EC is used in cucurbits such as cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, and cantaloupe to combat seedling death at planting or before transplanting. It is also used in tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants before planting to control root rot and seedling death, which is a sensitive stage as roots are still developing. In potatoes, it can be used to treat seed tubers or immediately after planting against pink rot, while in carrots, it is used with irrigation water at planting to combat root rot. It is also part of ornamental plant protection programs against seedling death and root rot, especially in high humidity environments or when using water-retentive media. To improve root environment and reduce soil disease recurrence, the program can be supported with products from the soil and planting media section, soil section, and agricultural sprayers and fertilizers and pesticides section, with appropriate application tools as needed. How to use Meta Gold 480 EC Cucurbits such as cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe: 7.5 to 10 ml per 10 liters of water in planting lines or before transplanting to prevent seedling death. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants: 10 to 12 ml per 10 liters of water before planting to prevent root rot and seedling death. Potatoes: 20 ml per 10 liters of water to treat seed tubers or immediately after planting against pink rot. Carrots: 25 ml per 10 liters of water with irrigation water at planting to prevent root rot. Clover: 5 to 10 ml per 10 liters of water with irrigation water against seedling death. Ornamental plants: 15 to 25 ml per 10 liters of water once every 3 months against seedling death and root rot. Important notes before application Meta Gold should be used only in soil and not sprayed solely on the foliage. Begin application at planting or immediately after germination, preferably with irrigation water to ensure the active ingredient reaches the root zone. It is also recommended to rotate with other fungicides from different groups to reduce resistance development, especially when re-infection occurs in the same land or crop. Success in controlling root rot does not depend solely on the fungicide; poor drainage, overwatering, soil contamination, and weak seedlings can lead to recurrence. Therefore, Meta Gold is most effective when part of a program that includes improving irrigation, drainage, and using healthy seedlings or seed tubers.
