Product details
Himil Gold Seed-treatment Fungicide by Insecticides (India) Limited
Metalaxyl 35% WS for seed treatment in maize, bajra and sorghum. Measure by seed weight, not field area, and follow the supplied crop-specific label.
Composition: Metalaxyl 35% WS seed-treatment formulation.
Listed crops: Maize, bajra and sorghum.
Dose basis: Grams of product per kilogram of seed, not per acre or litre of spray.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Seed-treatment role: Designed around the seed-treatment uses listed for Himil Gold.
- 🌽Maize programme: The manufacturer gives a distinct maize seed rate.
- 🌾Millet and sorghum fit: Bajra and sorghum have their own stated seed-weight rate.
- 🧬Targeted disease action: Metalaxyl affects RNA production in susceptible downy mildew organisms.
- ⚖️Clear measurement: Weighing the seed lot keeps the dose tied to the correct treatment basis.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Metalaxyl is a systemic phenylamide fungicide with activity against susceptible oomycetes, including downy mildew organisms.
- Seed placement: Use the current label’s seed-treatment instructions for the named crop.
- RNA production is affected: Metalaxyl interferes with RNA polymerase I in susceptible disease organisms.
- Disease development is limited: This disrupts growth of susceptible pathogens; it is not a treatment for every seed-borne disease.
FRAC Group 4 has a known resistance risk. Do not assume another metalaxyl or metalaxyl-M product is an unrelated resistance-management option.
Target Crops & Diseases
The manufacturer lists all three crops below. Disease names are supported by the September 2025 CIBRC metalaxyl 35% WS formulation reference; confirm that they match the current Himil Gold pack.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Maize |
|
| Bajra |
|
| Sorghum |
|
In the maize row, “sorghum” and “sugarcane” are parts of disease names, not additional crop uses. Sunflower and mustard occur in the wider formulation reference but are not added to Himil Gold’s manufacturer-listed crop scope.
Dosage & Application Guide
These seed-weight rates are stated by Insecticides (India) Limited. This is not a foliar-spray or per-acre programme.
Seed-treatment rates and essential checks
| Crop | Product / kg seed | Product / 100 kg seed | Use | Water / waiting period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Maize | 7 g | 700 g | Seed treatment | Current pack |
| Bajra | 6 g | 600 g | Seed treatment | Current pack |
| Sorghum | 6 g | 600 g | Seed treatment | Current pack |
The 100 kg seed quantities are arithmetic equivalents: 7 g × 100 = 700 g; 6 g × 100 = 600 g. No acre conversion is appropriate for a seed-weight rate.
The September 2025 CIBRC reference also records these formulation quantities. Its slurry-water and variety-dependent waiting-period entries are not presented here as complete current Himil Gold directions.
Confirm slurry water, mixing procedure, seed-treatment equipment, drying and sowing instructions, treated-seed storage and crop-specific waiting requirements on the supplied label. No spray dilution or tank dose is supplied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify and weigh the seed: Match maize, bajra or sorghum to the current label and measure the seed lot accurately.
- Measure the correct product quantity: Use the crop-specific grams per kilogram rate; do not use an area-based herbicide or spray calculation.
- Follow the seed-treatment process: Use the label’s slurry preparation, coating, drying and sowing directions. Do not invent a water ratio.
- Keep treated seed separate: Mark and store it safely; never use pesticide-treated seed as food, feed or oilseed for consumption.
