Metalaxyl is a systemic fungicide used primarily in agriculture to control oomycete pathogens such as Phytophthora and Pythium, which cause diseases in plants like late blight in potatoes and tomatoes. It works by inhibiting RNA synthesis in the pathogen, effectively stopping its growth. This chemical is available under CAS number 57837-19-1, with a molecular formula of C15H21NO4 and a molecular weight of 279.33. It should be stored at ambient conditions and carries a signal word of "Warning" for its moderate hazard level. Molekula supplies Metalaxyl from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
