USE PATTERN AND FORMULATIONS:
Fluxapyroxad is a new active ingredient (a.i.) developed by BASF Corporation to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases. Fluxapyroxad belongs to the carboxamide class of chemicals and its mode of action is inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase in complex II of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which results in inhibition of spore germination, germ tubes, and mycelial growth within the fungus target species.
Fluxapyroxad is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) or suspension concentrate (SC) and is registered for both foliar and seed treatment uses on a wide range of crops (cereal grains, legume vegetables, oil seed crops, peanuts, pome fruit, stone fruit, root and tuber vegetables, fruiting vegetables, and cotton). Crop applications may begin at emergence, but typical applications begin as plants touch across rows. Maximum single application rates range from 0.09 to 0.18 lb ai/acre. Maximum seasonal application rates range from 0.18 to 0.36 lb ai/acre. Pre-harvest intervals (PHIs) range from 0 to 21 days. A 365-day plant-back interval (PBI) is required for all crops that are not on the label. Applications may be made using groundboom, airblast, aerial, and standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment equipment. There are no fluxapyroxad products for homeowner use and there are no products for application to residential areas.
