Boscalid carboximide fungicide for
Product description
Boscalid has a broad spectrum of bactericidal activity and has a preventive effect, being active against almost all types of fungal diseases. It has excellent effects on the control of powdery mildew, gray mold, root rot disease, sclerotinia and various kinds of rot diseases and is not easy to produce cross-resistance. It is also effective against the resistant bacteria to other agents. It is mainly used for the prevention and control of diseases associated with rape, grapes, fruit trees, vegetables and field crops. The results have showed that Boscalid had a significant effect on the treatment of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum with both the disease incidence control effect and the disease control index being higher than 80%, which was better than any of the other agents currently popularized.
Boscalid is a kind of mitochondrion respiration inhibitor, being the inhibitor of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDHI) that acts by inhibiting succinate coenzyme Q reductase (also known as complex II) on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, with its mechanism of action being similar as that of other kinds of amide and benzamide fungicides. It has effects on the entire growth period of the pathogen, especially having a strong inhibitory effect against the spore germination. It also has excellent prophylactic effects and excellent intra-leaf permeability.
Boscalid is a foliar application germicide, which can penetrate vertically and be transmitted to the top of the plant leaves. It has excellent preventive effect and has certain therapeutic effect. It can also inhibit the spore germination, germ tube elongation and attachment formation, and is effective in all other growth stages of the fungus, exhibiting excellent resistance to rain erosion and persistence.
Boscalid has a low aqueous solubility and is not volatile. It can be very persistent in both soil and aquatic systems depending upon local conditions. There is some risk of leaching to groundwater. It is moderately toxic to most fauna and floras although risk is low for honey bees. Boscalid has a low oral mammalian toxicity.
