Active ingredient chemistry and dual mode of action
- Fluopyram (FRAC Group 7): Inhibits fungal mitochondrial respiration at Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), blocking cellular energy production.
- Tebuconazole (FRAC Group 3): Demethylation inhibitor (DMI) that halts fungal cell wall ergosterol synthesis, stopping hyphal growth.
- Dual-site synergy: Provides comprehensive protection against spore germination, germ tube elongation, and established fungal mycelium.
Target diseases and approved horticultural crops
- Grapes: Powdery mildew (Uncinula necator) and anthracnose during flowering and bunch development.
- Chilli: Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica) and anthracnose fruit rot (die-back).
- Apple: Apple scab and powdery mildew.
- Promotes clean, blemish-free fruit skins and improves post-harvest storage quality and shelf life.
Application timing, safety and resistance stewardship
Apply preventively or at the earliest sign of disease symptom development. To avoid fungicide resistance, limit applications to the maximum recommended rounds per season and alternate with multi-site contact fungicides. Follow the statutory Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) on the label and wear protective gloves and masks during spray preparation.
