Fluazinam

Type: Fungicide 

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)

Common Product Names: Omega 

What is it?

Fluazinam is a broad-spectrum fungicide known for its protective properties against various fungal diseases, including late blight in potatoes, downy mildew in grapes, and clubroot in brassicas. As a non-systemic fungicide, it remains on the plant's surface, forming a protective barrier that prevents the establishment and spread of fungal pathogens. Its use is predominantly in agricultural settings, where it is applied to crops either as a foliar spray or soil treatment. Fluazinam begins to work immediately after application by preventing spore germination, with protective effects lasting up to several weeks, depending on environmental conditions and application rate. Fluazinam is mainly preventative in its action, providing a protective barrier to keep fungal infections from establishing.

How does it work?

Fluazinam functions by disrupting the metabolic processes within fungal cells. When applied to crops, it forms a protective layer on the surface, preventing fungal spores from germinating and infecting the plant. Its action is predominantly preventative, making it most effective when used before or at the early onset of disease. The fungicide's ability to prevent the formation of energy within the fungal cells makes it highly effective against a variety of plant diseases.

Benefits

  • Long-Lasting Protection: Provides residual protection, with effects lasting for several weeks after application.
  • Resistance Management: Helps manage resistance in fungal populations due to its unique mode of action.
  • Non-Systemic: Remains on the surface of the plant, reducing the likelihood of systemic exposure and minimizing the risk of resistance development.
