Mask Fungicide by Nichino (Metalaxyl 35% WS) - Systemic Seed Treatment

The ultimate shield for Maize, Sorghum, and Bajra seeds against Downy Mildew and Soil-Borne Diseases.

Nichino Mask is a specialized systemic fungicide formulated as a 35% WS (Water Dispersible Powder for Slurry). Unlike common sprays, this is engineered specifically to coat seeds and drench nursery soil. It creates a protective "mask" around your crop, eliminating fungal threats like Downy Mildew, White Rust, and Pythium (Damping-off) right from the germination stage.

Best For: Farmers looking to prevent "Green Ear" in Bajra, "Crazy Top" in Maize, and seedling rotting in vegetable nurseries.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Mask works by inhibiting protein synthesis in the fungus. It targets RNA Polymerase I, effectively starving the fungus and stopping it from growing.

  1. Absorption: The active ingredient (Metalaxyl) penetrates the seed coat or root system.
  2. Translocation: It moves upward (acropetally) through the plant's water vessels (xylem).
  3. Eradication: It halts the growth of fungal mycelium and prevents spore formation from within the plant tissues.

Note: Because it moves upward, it protects new leaves but does not move downward to roots if sprayed on leaves.
