Prothioconazole

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol / Demethylation inhibitor (DMI)

Common Product Names: Proline & Prosaro

What is it?

Prothioconazole is a broad-spectrum fungicide with systemic properties, meaning it can move within the plant to provide protection throughout its structure. It is highly effective against a variety of fungal pathogens, making it a versatile tool in the fight against crop diseases. Its chemical structure allows for effective absorption and translocation within the plant, ensuring comprehensive protection. Prothioconazole provides curative action and can stop the progression of fungal diseases that have already infected the plant, thereby curtailing further damage.When applied before the onset of disease, it provides preventative action and can protect the plant from being infected in the first place.

How does it work?

Once applied, prothioconazole is absorbed by the plant and translocated to various parts, including new growth. By inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, it disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell membranes, leading to cellular leakage and death of the fungus. This systemic action helps in providing both curative and preventative control of fungal diseases.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive Diseases Control: Prothioconazole offers broad-spectrum control, effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including rusts, leaf spots, blights, and powdery mildew.
  • Systemic Protection: Its ability to move within the plant ensures that even new growth is protected from fungal attacks, providing a long-lasting shield against diseases.
  • Quick Results: Prothioconazole typically starts to show its curative effects within a few days of application, while its preventative action can last for several weeks, depending on environmental conditions and disease pressure.
