Trifloxystrobin

Type: Fungicide

Mode of Action: Inhibiting the mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells

Common Product Names: Luna Sensation, Flint, Compass

What is it?

Trifloxystrobin is a synthetic fungicide developed to offer broad-spectrum control of fungal pathogens. It is particularly effective against powdery mildews, rusts, and leaf spots. The chemical structure of Trifloxystrobin allows it to be both preventive and curative, making it a valuable tool in integrated pest management programs. Its semi-systemic action ensures that it is absorbed and translocated within the plant, providing long-lasting protection.

How does it work?

Trifloxystrobin works by interfering with the energy production in fungal cells. By binding to the cytochrome bc1 complex in the mitochondria, it blocks the electron transfer chain, which is crucial for ATP synthesis. Without ATP, the fungal cells cannot sustain vital processes, leading to their death. This mode of action is highly effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens and helps in reducing the spread of infections.

Benefits

  • Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against multiple types of fungi, reducing the need for multiple fungicides.
  • Preventive and Curative Action: Can be used both to prevent infections and to cure existing ones.
  • Semi-Systemic Activity: Ensures thorough protection by being absorbed and distributed within the plant.
  • Reduced Resistance Development: As part of the strobilurin class, it helps in managing resistance when used in rotation with other fungicides.
