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.
