Aluminum tris

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the synthesis of essential phospholipids in the fungal cell membrane

Common Product Names: Aliette & Fosetyl-Al

What is it?

Aluminum tris is a systemic fungicide widely used in agriculture to protect crops from a range of fungal diseases. It is particularly effective against Oomycete pathogens, such as Phytophthora and Pythium species, which cause root and crown rots. It is available in various formulations, including wettable powders and water-dispersible granules. It is selective, targeting specific fungal pathogens. Aluminum tris is primarily used in horticultural and agricultural settings, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. It typically requires a moderate use rate.

How does it work?

Aluminum tris is absorbed by the plant and translocated to all parts, including new growth. It acts by inhibiting the development of the fungal cell membrane, thus preventing the fungus from growing and spreading. It interferes with fungal RNA and DNA synthesis, which hampers the pathogen's ability to proliferate. This systemic action ensures protection even to the parts of the plant that were not directly treated. Typically, results can be seen within a few days of application, as the progression of the disease is halted and the plant starts to recover.

Benefits

  • Curative and Preventative: Can be used to treat existing fungal infections and as a preventative measure.
  • Systemic Action: Protects the entire plant, including new growth.
  • Rapid Results: Noticeable improvement within days of application.
  • Improved Plant Health: Helps in managing diseases that can severely affect plant health and yield.
