Himil Fungicide Metalaxyl 35 WS – Systemic Seed & Soil Treatment

Himil fungicide is a systemic solution formulated with metalaxyl 35 ws, developed by IIL (Insecticide India Limited) to protect crops from early-stage fungal infections. It delivers dual-action protection—internally through systemic absorption and externally by forming a protective barrier on the seed and plant surface. This ensures lasting control against tough fungal diseases such as downy mildew, damping-off, white rust, and black shank.

The active ingredient metalaxyl 35 ws works by disrupting key biological processes inside fungal cells, especially spore germination and protein synthesis. This prevents the spread of infection and supports robust plant growth from germination. Himil fungicide is widely used across India for crops like maize, bajra, sorghum, sunflower, and mustard, applied as a wet slurry seed treatment.

By using Himil Gold, farmers experience healthier seedlings, lower disease incidence, and ultimately higher yields with minimal reapplication. It is an ideal part of your crop protection plan, especially when supported by good agronomic practices and the right mix of fungicides and insecticides.
