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.
