ISP ProForce Solitaire 240ME Fungicide

Targeted Pythium control

Solitaire 240ME Fungicide is a targeted Pythium fungicide containing 240g/L of the active ingredient Metalaxyl-M. Metalaxyl-M is also known as Mefanoxam in some countries.

Solitaire 240ME Fungicide is specifically registered for the control of Pythium Leaf Blight, Pythium Root Rot and Damping Off in all turf management situations.

Solitaire 240ME Fungicide is a micro-emulsion (ME) formulation. It has minimal odour because the product does not contain petroleum solvents. As a result, Solitaire Fungicide mixes completely with water and may be tank-mixed with many commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.

Solitaire 240ME Fungicide is manufactured in Australia.

Mode of Action

GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE

Metalaxyl-M, the active Ingredient in Solitaire Fungicide, is an acylalanine fungicide, possessing systemic activity. Metalaxyl M is rapidly taken up by the green plant parts, and is transported upwards (acropetally) in the cell and is distributed in the leaves. It provides control of fungi from within the plant, inhibiting fungal growth and reproduction, and protects new growth produced after application. When applied as a soil application, some active ingredient remains on the surface of the soil and is absorbed onto soil particles and organic matter, where it can also control pathogens on contact.

Metalaxyl-M impacts strongly on RNA production in fungi cells. RNA is important to cells because it relays information encoded in DNA to tiny organs within the cell, called ribosomes, which produce protein according to the RNA’s instructions. RNA is thus vital to the basic functioning of the fungi cell.
