  • Metalaxyl is a colorless, odorless crystal.
  • Metalaxyl is a phenylamide fungicide with systemic function.
    Its chemical name is methyl N-(methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-xylyl)-DL-alaninate.
  • It can be used to control Pythium in a number of vegetable crops, and Phytophthora in peas.
  • It is the active ingredient in the seed treatment agent Apron XL LS.
  • Metalaxyl is sold in a combination with mancozeb, chlorothalonil, pentachloronitrobenzene, captan, and triadimefon.
  • Metalaxyl is a systemic, benzenoid fungicide used in mixtures as a foliar spray for tropical and subtropical crops, as a soil treatment for control of soil-borne pathogens, and as a seed treatment to control downy mildews.
  • A method for detecting low frequencies of resistance to metalaxyl was developed for phytophthora infestans.
  • Metalaxyl biodegradation was analyzed during 63 days by means of radiometric techniques to verify biomineralization and degradation product formation from the applied C-metalaxyl.
  • Although biomineralization and partial degradation were detected in both soils, enhanced degradation was verified only in the GH soil. Results proved that metalaxyl behaves differently in soils.
  • Metalaxyl may be used on many different food crops, including tobacco, ornamentals, conifer, and turf applications.
  • For agricultural seed treatment metalaxyl is applied with conventional slurry or mist seed treating equipment.
  • Metalaxyl is registered for use on over 100 agricultural crops (including more than 30 seed treatment uses).
  • Metalaxyl is also registered for ornamental and turf uses.
  • To control diseases caused by air-and soil-borne Peronosporales on a wide range of temperate, subtropical and tropical crops.
  • Metalaxyl was found to be practically nontoxic acutely and subacutely to avian species and to present no adverse effects to avian
    and mammalian populations.
  • Metalaxyl poses no hazard to endangered terrestrial or aquatic animal species or to plant species.
  • More than 90% of the total poundage of metalaxyl used domestically is used in the following ten crops/sites: tobacco, turf, potatoes,
    ornamentals, soybean (seed treatment), onions, citrus, cucurbits, tomatoes, and cotton.
  • A simple bioassay was developed for quantifying the fungicide metalaxyl in small samples of potato leaf tissue.
  • Four microorganisms, Pseudomonas sp., Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium herbarum and Penicilluim sp., were isolated from cucumber leaves previously treated with metalaxyl using enrichment technique. These isolates were evaluated for
    detoxification of metalaxyl at the recommended dose level in aquatic system.
  • It is important to find a novel technique that is effective in the remediation of metalaxyl in environment.
  • This is the first report of metalaxyl resistance following its use as a pea seed dressing for downy mildew control in Australia.
  • The proposed MRLs for metalaxyl in Canada are the same as corresponding tolerances established in the United States for root and tuber vegetables and leaves of root and tuber vegetables.
  • Metalaxyl is registered for use in New Zealand, and is available in a variety of formulations, many of which include other active  ingredients such as mancozeb, thiabendazole, cymoxanil and fludioxonil.
