The formulation regulated the soil mobility of the two active ingredients differently, promoting limited redistribution of fludioxonil within the soil column without substantial leaching loss, while enhancing the upper\u2010soil retention of metalaxyl\u2010M and slowing its subsequent depletion. In a field evaluation, SA\/CS@Flu@CA\/Met@ATP showed calculated control efficacies of 89.7\u201394.9% at 60\u2009days. Earthworm exposure and amplicon sequencing indicated no significant treatment\u2010related reduction in earthworm survival or relative body weight and no broad restructuring of bacterial or fungal
