Folio Gold Fungicide Features and Benefits
Curative + Preventive Action
Metalaxyl-M penetrates plant tissues and controls infections from within, especially effective during early disease development.
Systemic Movement
Absorbed by leaves and translocated upward, protecting new growth from internal infections.
Multi-Site Contact Shield
Chlorothalonil forms a protective barrier on the leaf surface, preventing spore germination.
Strong Resistance Management Tool
The combination of systemic and multi-site chemistry reduces the risk of fungal resistance development.
Broad-Spectrum Protection
Effective against Oomycetes and other fungal pathogens affecting vegetables and grapes.
Rain Fastness
Becomes rainfast within approximately 2–3 hours after spraying.
Mode of Action – Scientific Insight
-
Metalaxyl-M (Phenylamide group) inhibits RNA polymerase in fungi, stopping nucleic acid synthesis and fungal growth internally. Highly effective against Downy Mildew and Late Blight pathogens.
-
Chlorothalonil (Chloronitrile group) acts on multiple enzyme sites in fungal cells, disrupting metabolic processes and preventing spore germination.
This dual chemistry provides both curative “kick-back” action and long-term surface protection, making it ideal for integrated disease management programs.
