Kresoxim-methyl
CAS No.: 143390–89–0
Properties:
Slight yellow powder or brown granule. It is a fungicide with protective, curative, eradicative and long residual disease control. By inhibiting spore initiation. The activity is facilitated by gas phase redistribution.
Mode of action:
Quinone outside Inhibitor. Inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer between cytochrome b and cytochrome c1, at the ubiquinol oxidising site. Selectivity is partly due to enzymic de-esterification within plants.Fungicide with protective, curative, eradicative and long residual disease control; acts by inhibiting spore germination. Redistribution via the vapour phase contributes to activity.
Usage:
Control of scab in apples and pears (Venturia spp.); powdery mildew on apples (Podosphaera leucotricha), vines (Uncinula necator), cucurbits (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) and sugar beet (Erysiphe betae); mildew (Erysiphe graminis), scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), net blotch (Pyrenophora teres) and glume blotch (Septoria nodorum) on cereals; and mildew (Leveillula taurica, Erysiphe spp., Alternaria spp.) on vegetables.
