Type: Fungicide
Mode of Action: Inhibiting the mitochondrial respiration in fungi
Common Product Names: Evito
What is it?
Fluoxastrobin is a systemic fungicide belonging to the strobilurin class of chemicals. It is designed to protect a wide range of crops, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, from various fungal infections. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed and translocated throughout the plant, providing protection to both treated and new growth.
How does it work?
Fluoxastrobin is absorbed by the plant and moves systemically, protecting against fungi both on the surface and within the plant tissues. By inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in the fungal cells, it effectively prevents energy production, leading to the pathogen's death. This dual action, both preventative and curative, makes it highly effective in managing fungal diseases.
