What is it?

Fluopyram is a broad-spectrum fungicide belonging to the chemical class of pyridinyl-ethyl-benzamides. It is effective against various fungal pathogens that cause diseases such as powdery mildew, gray mold, and apple scab. This active ingredient is widely used in both agricultural and horticultural applications to protect crops like fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The results of Fluopyram application can be seen within a few days as the fungal disease symptoms begin to subside. As a fungicide, Fluopyram works both as a curative and preventative treatment, making it suitable for managing ongoing infections and preventing new ones from establishing.

How does it work?

Fluopyram targets and inhibits the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme in the mitochondrial respiratory chain of fungal cells. By blocking this enzyme, Fluopyram disrupts the production of ATP, the primary energy carrier in cells. This energy disruption leads to the death of the fungal cells, effectively controlling the spread of fungal diseases.
