Fungicides

Product Description  BASF Xelora Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide that provides effective control of a wide range of diseases in a variety of crops. It is a dual-action fungicide, with both contact and systemic activity. This means that it can kill fungal spores that come into contact with the plant, as well as those that have already entered the plant.  Active Ingredients  Thiophanate Methyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane.  Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production in the fungal cell.  Mode of Action  The mode of action of BASF Xelora fungicide is a combination of contact and systemic activity. The two active ingredients, Thiophanate Methyl and Pyraclostrobin, work in different ways to kill fungal spores and cells.  Thiophanate Methyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the structure of the cell membrane, making it leaky and allowing essential nutrients to leak out. The fungus eventually dies from starvation.  Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production in the fungal cell. This disrupts the energy production of the fungus, leading to its death.  Benefits  Broad-spectrum control of a wide range of diseases: BASF Xelora Fungicide is effective against a wide range of diseases, including early seedling diseases, foliar diseases, and fruit diseases.  Dual-action fungicide with contact and systemic activity: Xelora has both contact and systemic activity, which means that it can kill fungal spores that come into contact with the plant, as well as those that have already entered the plant.  Provides AgCelence® benefits to the plant: Xelora also provides AgCelence® benefits to the plant, which include enhanced vigor, better root development, and improved yield potential.  Safe and effective: BASF Xelora Fungicide is a safe and effective fungicide that can be used to protect a variety of crops.  Registered for use in a variety of crops: Xelora is registered for use in a wide range of crops, including apples, grapes, tomatoes, chilies, onions, soybeans, peanuts, okra, and groundnuts.    Crop  Disease  Dosage (mL/ha)  Apples  Scab  1.0-1.5  Grapes  Black rot  1.0-1.5  Tomatoes  Early blight  1.0-1.5  Chilies  Anthracnose  1.0-1.5  Onions  Downy mildew  1.0-1.5  Soybeans  Seedling rot  2.0-2.5  Peanuts  Stem rot  2.0-2.5  Okra  Seedling disease  3  Groundnuts  Black scurf  20    It is important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the specific dosage and application rate may vary depending on the crop, the severity of the disease, and the environmental conditions. It is always best to consult the product label for specific instructions.

Product Description   Amistar Top Fungicide is used to control a variety of fungal diseases in a range of crops, including vegetables, rice, cotton, citrus, and tree nuts. It is a co-formulation of azoxystrobin and difenoconazole, two active ingredients that work together to provide preventive, systemic, and curative control of diseases.   Active Ingredients   Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a compound that is essential for the growth of fungi.   Difenoconazole is a triazole fungicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of squalene, another compound that is essential for the growth of fungi.   Mode of Action   The two active ingredients in Amistar Top Fungicide work together to provide a broad spectrum of control against a variety of fungal diseases. They are both relatively safe fungicides, but it is important to follow the label instructions carefully when using them. The decrease in the production of ergosterol and squalene disrupts the structure of the cell membrane of the fungus, which prevents the fungus from growing and reproducing.   Benefits   Broad-spectrum control: Amistar Top Fungicide can control a wide range of fungal diseases, including leaf spots, blights, powdery mildew, rust, scab, and downy mildew.   Preventive, systemic, and curative: Amistar Top can be used as a preventive treatment to protect plants from fungal diseases, as a systemic treatment to move through the plant and protect it from the inside out, or as a curative treatment to kill existing fungal infections.   Relatively safe: Amistar Top is a relatively safe fungicide, but it is important to follow the label instructions carefully when using it.   Easy to apply: Amistar Top is easy to apply as a spray.   Overall, Amistar Top Fungicide is a safe and effective fungicide that can help to protect crops from a variety of fungal diseases. It is a good option for growers who are looking for a way to improve crop yields and quality while reducing the need for other fungicides.   Crop   Disease   Dosage   Apple   Scab   1 ML/ lit of water   Corn   Northern corn leaf blight   1 ML/ lit of water   Grape   Powdery mildew   1 ML/ lit of water   Peach   Brown spot   1 ML/ lit of water   Soybean   Early soybean leaf spot   1 ML/ lit of water     It is important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the specific dosage and application rate may vary depending on the crop, the severity of the disease, and the environmental conditions.

Product Description  Amistar fungicide is a systemic fungicide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant and moves throughout the tissue, providing long-lasting protection. It is also a translaminar fungicide, which means that it can move through the leaves, providing protection on both the upper and lower surfaces.  It is applied as a foliar spray. The recommended application rate varies depending on the crop and the severity of the disease.  Active Ingredients  Azoxystrobin: This is a member of the strobilurin class of fungicides. It works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, which prevents them from producing energy. Azoxystrobin is a broad-spectrum fungicide, meaning that it is effective against a variety of different fungal diseases.  Difenoconazole: This is a triazole fungicide. It works by disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, which causes them to die. Difenoconazole is also a broad-spectrum fungicide, and it is often used in combination with azoxystrobin to provide more effective control of fungal diseases.  Mode of Action  The mode of action of Amistar fungicide is to inhibit mitochondrial respiration in fungi. This means that it prevents fungi from producing energy, which eventually kills them. The combination of azoxystrobin and difenoconazole provides a synergistic effect, which means that they are more effective at killing fungi when used together than when used alone. This is because the two compounds work in different ways to inhibit fungal growth.  Benefits  Broad-spectrum control: It is a effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including powdery mildew, downy mildew, and rust.  Systemic and translaminar activity: It is absorbed by the plant and moves throughout the tissue, providing long-lasting protection. It can also move through the leaves, providing protection on both the upper and lower surfaces.  Curative and preventive activity: It can be used to control both existing fungal infections and to prevent new infections from occurring.  Low environmental impact: It is a relatively safe product with a low environmental impact.   Amistar fungicide is not harmful to bees or other beneficial insects.  Amistar fungicide is a valuable tool for controlling a variety of fungal diseases. It is safe, effective, and easy to use.  Disease  Dosage  Crop  Early blight in potatoes  1-2ML/ lit of water  Potatoes  Late blight in tomatoes  1-2ML/ lit of water  Tomatoes  Grey leaf spot in maize  1-2ML/ lit of water  Maize  White blister in crucifers  1-2ML/ lit of water  Cruciferous vegetables  Powdery mildew in cucurbits  1-2ML/ lit of water  Cucurbit vegetables  Anthracnose in dry beans  1-2ML/ lit of water  Dry beans  Powdery mildew in peppers  1-2ML/ lit of water  Peppers  Foliar diseases of onions  1-2ML/ lit of water  Onions   It is important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the specific dosage and application rate may vary depending on the crop, the severity of the disease, and the environmental conditions.
