Fludioxonil non-systemic contact fungicide for crop protection

Product description

Fludioxonil is a contact fungicide. It is effective against a wide range of ascomycete, basidiomycete and deuteromycete fungi. As a cereal seed treatment, it controls seed- and soil-borne diseases and gives particularly good control of Fusarium roseum and Gerlachia nivalis in small-grain cereals. As a potato seed treatment, fludioxonil gives broad-spectrum control of diseases including Rhizoctonia solaniwhen used as recommended. Fludioxonil does not affect seed germination. Applied as a foliar fungicide, it provides high levels of Botrytis control in various crops. The fungicide controls diseases on stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Fludioxonil is active against benzimidazole-, dicarboximide- and guanidine-resistant fungi.

Its mode of action is to inhibit transport-associated phosphorylation of glucose, which reduces mycelial growth rate. As a seed treatment fungicide, the suspension seed coating agent can control many diseases. The application results show that fludioxonil root irrigation or soil treatment has very good effects on many root diseases such as wilt, root rot, fusarium wilt and vine blight of various crops. In addition, fludioxonil can also be used as a spray to prevent gray mold and sclerotia of various crops.

For dealing with the fungal diseases, it is usually applied in seed treatment as well as post-harvest treatment of fruits. Fludioxonil is effective in the treatment of many major seed diseases such as seedling blight, stem-base Browning, snow mould and common blunt. For post-harvest treatment, it can deal with Grey mould, storage rot, powdery mildew and black spot. It exerts its effect through interfering with the transport-associated phosphorylation of glucose as well as inhibiting glycerol synthesis, further inhibiting the mycelial growth. When used in combination with thiamethoxam and metalaxyl-M, fludioxonil can also be used for the treatment of pests such as peach-potato aphid, flea beetle and cabbage stem flea beetle.
