Description
It is a systemic fungicide that protects plants from fungi in the water mold family, such as Late blight and Downy mildew. It moves up the treated plant stem to growing leaves. It also has anti-sporulate activity, which helps to prevent the spread of blight between plants.
Mode of action:
Its mode of action is the inhibition of sterol (ergosterol) synthesis. It prevents spreading of fungus through the disruption of fungal cell wall formation.
Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Classification: 40
Benefits:
- Kills Late blight spores, preventing the spread of blight between plants and neighboring fields.
- Unique mode of action that disintegrates the cell wall to kill the pathogen.
- Effective against different stages of the fungal lifecycle.
