What is Metalaxyl 35% WS?
Meta 35 (Metalaxyl 35% WS) is a systemic seed-treatment fungicide by Harishree Crop Science for protection against damping off, downy mildew, seedling blight, root rot, collar rot, and Pythium and Phytophthora (oomycete) diseases during germination and early growth in maize, groundnut, soybean, cotton, sunflower, vegetables, paddy, and wheat. Recommended dose: 25 gm per pump.
About Meta 35 Fungicide
Meta 35 Fungicide is a premium systemic seed-treatment fungicide from HARISHREE CROP SCIENCE, formulated as Metalaxyl 35% WS. Indian growers face heavy early-season pressure from damping off, downy mildew, seedling blight, root rot, collar rot, and other Pythium and Phytophthora (oomycete) diseases — problems that destroy emerging seedlings and thin out the crop stand before it even establishes. Seed-treatment fungicides like Meta 35 are trusted because they protect the seed and seedling from within, precisely when and where soil-borne oomycete pressure is highest.
The WS (water-dispersible powder for slurry seed treatment) formulation coats seed evenly to deliver uniform protection at sowing. Meta 35 is engineered for crop safety when used at the recommended rate, supporting cleaner germination, stronger seedling vigor, and better crop establishment across maize, groundnut, soybean, cotton, sunflower, vegetables, paddy, and wheat. For agronomists and dealers, Meta 35 represents a dependable establishment-stage solution backed by Harishree quality control and batch-to-batch consistency.
Metalaxyl 35%
Metalaxyl 35% is a phenylamide (acylalanine) fungicide (FRAC Group 4) that is highly specific to oomycete pathogens such as Pythium and Phytophthora. It works systemically: taken up by the germinating seed and developing seedling, it inhibits ribosomal RNA synthesis in the pathogen, halting its growth and reproduction. Applied as a seed treatment, metalaxyl protects the seed, emerging shoot, and root zone from within during germination and early establishment, when oomycete diseases like damping off and seedling blight cause the greatest losses.

Diseases controlled
How Meta 35 protects crops against key oomycete pathogens at establishment.
Damping Off
Symptoms: Failure of seeds to emerge, or sudden collapse of young seedlings with water-soaked, pinched stems at the soil line. Affected patches show gaps and toppled seedlings.
Crop damage: Damping off thins the crop stand at establishment, forcing gap-filling and reseeding and directly reducing plant population and yield potential.
Control benefits: Meta 35 seed treatment protects the seed and emerging seedling systemically against the oomycetes that cause damping off, ensuring cleaner, more uniform emergence.
Downy Mildew
Symptoms: Pale yellow patches on leaves with downy growth on the underside, and systemic infection that stunts seedlings, especially in maize, sunflower, and vegetables.
Crop damage: Seedling downy mildew stunts or kills young plants and lowers stand quality, cutting yield when systemic infection sets in early.
Control benefits: As a seed treatment, Meta 35 provides early systemic protection against downy mildew oomycetes, guarding seedlings during the vulnerable early-growth window.
Seedling Blight
Symptoms: Browning, rotting, and collapse of seedlings soon after emergence, often with lesions on the hypocotyl and decay spreading through young tissue.
Crop damage: Seedling blight reduces emergence and stand uniformity, leaving gappy fields that need reseeding and lowering yield potential from the outset.
Control benefits: Meta 35 protects germinating seed and seedlings from within, suppressing the oomycetes responsible for seedling blight and improving establishment.
Root Rot
Symptoms: Brown, decayed roots with poor root development, leading to wilting, stunting, and yellowing of seedlings despite adequate moisture.
Crop damage: Root rot weakens the seedling root system, reducing water and nutrient uptake and lowering vigor and yield potential across the season.
Control benefits: Systemic Meta 35 protects the root zone during establishment, suppressing oomycete root rot and supporting strong early root development.
Collar Rot
Symptoms: Rotting and constriction of the stem at the soil line (collar), especially in groundnut, causing wilting and death of affected plants.
Crop damage: Collar rot kills establishing plants and creates gaps in the stand, directly reducing plant population and harvestable yield.
Control benefits: Meta 35 seed treatment guards the seed and collar region during germination, reducing collar rot losses and improving crop stand.
Pythium Diseases
Symptoms: Soft, watery rot of seeds and seedling roots and stems, with poor emergence and collapse of young plants in moist, poorly drained soils.
Crop damage: Pythium destroys seeds and seedlings before establishment, sharply reducing plant population in cool, wet sowing conditions.
Control benefits: Metalaxyl is highly specific to Pythium and similar oomycetes. Meta 35 seed treatment delivers targeted systemic suppression at the seed and root zone.
Phytophthora Diseases
Symptoms: Dark, water-soaked rot of roots, collar, and lower stem, with sudden wilting and decline of seedlings in wet, warm conditions.
Crop damage: Phytophthora causes rapid seedling decline and stand loss, and can persist in soil to threaten the crop through early growth.
Control benefits: Meta 35 provides targeted systemic activity against Phytophthora during establishment, protecting roots and collar from oomycete decay.
Oomycete Disease Complex
Symptoms: A mix of seed decay, damping off, root and collar rot, and seedling blight occurring together under moist, disease-favourable sowing conditions.
Crop damage: The combined oomycete complex can devastate emerging stands, leaving thin, uneven fields that fail to reach yield potential.
Control benefits: A single Meta 35 seed treatment addresses the oomycete complex systemically at sowing, securing emergence and uniform crop establishment.
Target diseases at a glance
Meta 35 delivers strong control against major establishment diseases when used as a seed treatment.
Damping Off
Collapse of young seedlings at the soil line. Meta 35 seed treatment protects emergence systemically against the causal oomycetes.
Downy Mildew

What growers say
Feedback from farmers using Meta 35 Fungicide across India.
I treated my soybean seed with Meta 35 before sowing and emergence was much more uniform this year. There were far fewer gaps from seedling rot, so I did not have to reseed patches like before. A strong, healthy start to the crop.
Collar rot used to kill many groundnut plants early in the season. After seed treatment with Meta 35 the stand was much better and the seedlings looked healthier. Easy to coat the seed and good value for the pack.
Damping off was a recurring problem in my maize nursery. Meta 35 seed treatment protected the seedlings and emergence was clean and even. The crop got a strong start and I am happy with the result.
