Flutriafol
Type: Fungicide
Mode of Action: Inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol
Common Product Names: Rhyme & Topguard
What is it?
Flutriafol is a systemic fungicide known for its high efficacy and long-lasting protection against a wide range of fungal diseases. It is absorbed by plant tissues and translocated throughout the plant, providing both curative and preventative effects. This dual action makes it a versatile tool in integrated pest management programs.
How does it work?
Upon application, Flutriafol is absorbed by the plant and moves systemically to protect new growth. By inhibiting the production of ergosterol in fungal cell membranes, it disrupts the growth and reproduction of fungi, ultimately leading to their death. This action is particularly effective against diseases such as powdery mildew, rusts, and leaf spots.
