APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Inhibitor of ergosterol biosynthesis. Uses Control of a wide range of seed diseases in rice and other crops. It is particularly effective against Gibberella fujikuroi ('Bakanae' disease), Cochliobolus miyabeanus (Helminthosporium leaf spot) and Pyricularia oryzae (blast) on rice. The component isomer pairs are of equal activity. Formulation types EC; SC.
