Penthiopyrad

Type: Herbicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme in fungal cells / Succinate dehydrogenase inhibition (SDHI)

Common Product Names: Fontelis

What is it?

Penthiopyrad is a systemic fungicide, meaning it is absorbed and translocated throughout the plant. This characteristic allows it to protect both the treated foliage and new growth. Developed to combat a broad spectrum of fungal pathogens, Penthiopyrad is a valuable tool for farmers and gardeners aiming to protect their crops from diseases such as leaf spots, blights, and mildews.

How does it work?

Penthiopyrad works by interfering with the energy production of fungal cells. When applied, it penetrates the plant tissues and reaches the fungal pathogens. By inhibiting the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme, Penthiopyrad disrupts the cellular respiration process of the fungi, leading to their death. This action helps to prevent the spread of fungal diseases and protects the plant from further infection.

Benefits

  • Curative and Preventative: Penthiopyrad can be used both as a curative treatment for existing infections and as a preventative measure to protect against future fungal attacks.
  • Systemic Protection: As a systemic fungicide, Penthiopyrad protects both treated areas and new growth.
  • Long-Lasting: Provides residual protection, ensuring prolonged defense against fungal diseases.
  • Quick Results: Visible improvements in plant health and reduction in disease symptoms can often be seen within a short period after application.
