Metalaxyl and metalaxyl-M are the world’s most widely used acetylalanine fungicides; they inhibit the synthesis of ribosomal RNA in mycelium. Metalaxyl proper is a racemic mixture [1], while metalaxyl-M is solely (97%) the R-enantiomer [2].

Is Mefenoxam toxic to birds?

With mefenoxam’s ability to effectively protect against very serious plant diseases, its unusually low application rate (0.125-1.25 oz./100 gal), its safety to plants, its long reapplication interval, and its low toxicity (to birds, fish, bees and mammals), mefenoxam is often the best choice for treatment.
