Xemium is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain in fungi. This inhibition leads to the death of the fungus.
-
Pyraclostrobin is a QoI fungicide that works by inhibiting the 14-alpha-demethylase enzyme in fungi. This inhibition prevents the production of ergosterol, which is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption of the fungal cell membrane leads to the death of the fungus.
