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.
