Applications

Biochemistry Itis a sterol demethylation inhibitor. It inhibits cell membrane ergosterolbiosynthesis, stopping development of the fungus.
Mode of action: It is a systemicfungicide with preventive and curative action. It is absorbed by the leaves,with acropetal and strong translaminar translocation.
Uses: Difenoconazole is a systemic fungicide with a novelbroad-range activity protecting the yield and crop quality by foliarapplication or seed treatment. It provides long-lasting preventive and curativeactivity against Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes, includingAlternaria, Ascochyta, Cercospora, Cercosporidium, Colletotrichum, Guignardia,Mycosphaerella, Phoma, Ramularia, Rhizoctonia, Septoria, Uncinula, Venturiaspp., Erysiphaceae, Uredinales and several seed-borne pathogens. Difenoconazoleis used against disease complexes in grapes, pome fruit, stone fruit, potatoes,sugar beet, oilseed rape, banana, cereals, rice, soya beans, ornamentals andvarious vegetable crops, at 30-125 g/ha.It is used as a seed treatment against a range of pathogens in wheat andbarley, at 3-24 g/100 kg seed.
Phytotoxicity: In wheat, earlyfoliar applications at growth stages 29-42 might cause, in certaincircumstances, chlorotic spotting of leaves, but this has no effect on yield.
Formulation types: DS; EC; FS; SC;WG.
