Mechanism of action

Used in preventative and curative spray programs.

Propamocarb is a systemic fungicide that acts by interfering with the synthesis of phospholipids and its fatty acids, interrupting the formation of the fungi membrane cell. It affects the mycelium growth, the production and germination of spores. Due to this specific mode of action, Propamocarb is not likely to generate resistance. Its acropetally systemic properties provide strong rainfastness.

 

Cymoxanil is a fungicide with quick penetrating properties, translaminar action, shock effect (best curative efficacy) and short persistence. It acts by altering fungi metabolism. Even at very low doses, it is effective in preventing germination of spores on the surface of leaves. Due to its penetration characteristics, it can selectively destroy the mycelium during incubation period, preventing injuries or damages during the cultivation.

 

Compatibility

Used in alternation with contact fungicides, is an excellent tool for resistance management.
