Fluxapyroxad

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase

Common Product Names: Priaxor

What is it?

Fluxapyroxad is a systemic fungicide belonging to the carboxamide class. It is known for its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of fungal pathogens, making it an essential tool in managing plant diseases. Developed by BASF, this active ingredient has become a cornerstone in agricultural practices, helping farmers protect their crops and ensure higher yields.  Its ability to act both curatively and preventatively, coupled with its systemic and broad-spectrum nature, makes it an invaluable tool for farmers aiming to maintain healthy crops and optimize their agricultural productivity.

How does it work?

Fluxapyroxad works by targeting and inhibiting the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme in fungi. This enzyme is a critical component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which is essential for energy production. By disrupting this process, Fluxapyroxad effectively starves the fungal cells of energy, leading to their death. This action not only stops existing infections but also prevents the establishment and spread of new ones.

Benefits

  • Curative and Preventative: Fluxapyroxad is effective both as a curative treatment for existing fungal infections and as a preventative measure to protect against future outbreaks.
  • Systemic Action: Being systemic, Fluxapyroxad is absorbed by the plant and moves within its tissues, providing comprehensive protection.
  • Long-Lasting Residual Control: Offers extended protection over time, reducing the need for frequent applications.
  • Rapid Results: Visible improvements in crop health can often be seen within a few days of application.
