Mode of action:
Non-specific, multi-site fungicide which inhibits numerous enzymes in the fungus, resulting in subsequent inhibition of spore germination and mycelial growth.Basic contact fungicide with protective action.
Usage:
Protective fungicide applied to foliage to control Botrytis spp. on grapes, soft fruit, lettuce, vegetables and ornamentals; rust on ornamentals; scab and storage diseases on apples and pears; leaf curl, Stigmina and monilia on stone fruit; and anthracnosis (Colletotrichum) in temperate and tropical crops. Used in seed treatments alone or in combination with added insecticides or fungicides to control damping-off diseases (e.g. Pythium spp.), and other diseases like Fusarium spp., of maize, cotton, cereals, legumes, vegetables and ornamentals, and to provide bird repellency. Used as a soil treatment for the control of soil-borne pests (e.g. Pythium, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia and sclerotinia spp.). Applied at 0.1–0.3% a.i. for foliar uses, 0.05–0.20 kg a.i./100 kg seed for seed treatment, and 0.5–1 g/m² for soil treatment.
