Chemical composition and unique mode of action
Infinito combines two distinct chemical classes that disrupt fungal development at cellular and structural levels, making it a critical tool for anti-resistance fungicide management.
- Fluopicolide (acylpicolide class) disrupts the spectrin-like proteins within the pathogen cytoskeleton, inducing rapid delocalisation.
- Propamocarb Hydrochloride (carbamate class) inhibits membrane synthesis and blocks mycelial growth and zoospore germination.
- Translaminar movement ensures protection across both upper and lower leaf surfaces, including newly developing foliage.
- Notable rainfastness protects vulnerable foliar tissues even during intermittent monsoon downpours.
Target crops, diseases, and spray guidelines
Infinito is recommended for application at the early onset of disease symptoms or as a preventive treatment when cool, humid weather creates high blight pressure.
- Late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potato, applied at canopy closure or upon initial disease warnings.
- Late blight in tomato crops to safeguard developing fruits and foliage.
- Downy mildew in cucurbit crops and grapes during vegetative and flowering phases.
- Observe the pre-harvest interval (PHI) specified on the approved manufacturer label before harvest.
Safe handling and anti-resistance practices
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective masks during mixing and spraying. Avoid applying Infinito consecutively more than twice; rotate with fungicides featuring alternative FRAC modes of action to prevent the emergence of resistant pathogen strains.

Common questions
What are the active ingredients in Infinito fungicide?
Infinito contains Fluopicolide 5.56% and Propamocarb Hydrochloride 55.6% in a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation.
Is Infinito curative or preventive?
Infinito offers strong preventive protection along with translaminar curative action against early-stage oomycete infections.
Can Infinito be applied during rainy weather?
Once the spray deposit has dried completely on the foliage, Infinito offers reliable rainfastness against wash-off.
