Fluopicolide

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Disruption of cytoskeleton and formation of spectrin-like proteins in the oomycete pathogens

Common Product Names: Adorn

What is it?

Fluopicolide is a systemic fungicide that provides both preventative and curative action against oomycete pathogens. It is known for its efficacy in protecting crops like potatoes, grapes, vegetables, and ornamentals from various fungal diseases. Its unique mode of action makes it a valuable tool in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, helping to manage resistance in pathogen populations.

How does it work?

Fluopicolide's primary function is to inhibit the development of the cytoskeleton in oomycete pathogens. By targeting and disrupting the spectrin-like proteins essential for the cytoskeleton, fluopicolide prevents the pathogens from maintaining their cell shape and integrity, ultimately leading to cell lysis and death. This mode of action is particularly effective in stopping the spread of diseases and protecting crops from infection.

Benefits

  • Preventative and Curative Action: Effective at both preventing infections before they start and curing existing infections.
  • Systemic Activity: Absorbed and translocated within the plant, offering protection to new growth.
  • Quick Results: Visible effects can often be seen within days of application, with complete pathogen control typically achieved within a week.
