Polyoxin D zinc salt

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the biosynthesis of chitin in fungal cell walls

Common Product Names: Endorse

What is it?

Polyoxin D zinc salt is a derivative of the naturally occurring polyoxins, which are secondary metabolites produced by certain strains of the soil bacterium Streptomyces cacaoi var. asoensis. It is a broad-spectrum fungicide known for its low toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans, animals, and beneficial insects. It provides both curative and preventative action. This makes it a preferable choice for integrated pest management programs.

How does it work?

When applied to crops, Polyoxin D zinc salt penetrates the fungal cells and disrupts the synthesis of chitin, a crucial component of the fungal cell wall. Without chitin, the fungal cells become weak and unable to maintain their structure, leading to their eventual death. This process not only curbs the spread of existing infections but also prevents the establishment of new fungal colonies.th.

Benefits

  • Curative and Preventative: Effective both as a curative treatment for existing infections and as a preventative measure to protect crops from future fungal attacks.
  • Resistance Management: Helps manage resistance in fungal populations due to its unique mode of action.
  • Short Pre-Harvest Interval: Allows for application close to the harvest period without compromising crop safety.
  • Rapid Results: Visible reduction in disease symptoms within a few days of application.
