Biochemistry

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.

Mode of action

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; mildew on vegetables (Leveillula taurica, Erysiphe
spp., Alternaria spp.).
