Tebuconazole

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol

Common Product Names: Luna Experience, Folicur, Offset

What is it?

Tebuconazole is a member of the triazole class of fungicides. It provides both protective and curative action. It is renowned for its systemic properties, meaning it is absorbed by plants and translocated throughout their tissues. This allows Tebuconazole to protect not only the treated parts but also new growth. It is effective against a variety of fungal diseases, including rusts, blights, mildews, and leaf spots, making it a versatile tool for farmers and gardeners alike.

How does it work?

Upon application, Tebuconazole is absorbed by the plant and distributed systemically. It targets and inhibits the enzyme C14-demethylase, which is essential for the production of ergosterol. Ergosterol is a critical component of fungal cell membranes. Without it, the fungi cannot build functional cell membranes, leading to their demise. This action helps protect plants from a wide array of fungal diseases, ensuring healthy growth and higher yields.

Benefits

  • Systemic Protection: Its systemic nature ensures that even untreated parts of the plant receive protection, including new growth.
  • Longevity: Tebuconazole provides long-lasting protection, reducing the frequency of applications needed.
  • Versatility: Curative and preventative. It can be used on various crops, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
