Fungicida
Description
A systemic fungicide belonging to the triazole group (DMI), used for the preventive and curative control of various fungal diseases in extensive crops, especially cereals. It exhibits high efficacy against rusts, septoria leaf spot, rhynchosporium leaf spot, helminthosporium leaf spot, and other leaf spots caused by phytopathogenic fungi. It acts by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis through the blocking of the C14-demethylase (CYP51) enzyme, essential for the formation of functional cell membranes in fungi. The disruption of sterol synthesis causes structural and physiological dysfunctions in the cell membrane, inhibiting mycelial growth and sporulation. It has preventive, early curative, and partially eradicative activity, as well as marked systemic action and persistence in the crop.
Application Conditions
It is applied as a foliar spray, either preventively or at the first sign of infection. Homogeneous coverage of the crop must be ensured to maximize absorption and treatment efficacy. Alternating or mixing with fungicides of different modes of action is recommended within resistance control programs and integrated disease management systems.
Compatibility in Treatment Programs
Compatible with multisite fungicides, strobilurins and SDHI within resistance management strategies
Cross-Resistance
There is partial or total cross-resistance with other FRAC 3 fungicides (DMI triazoles)
Maximum Number of Applications
Maximum 1-2 consecutive applications according to FRAC strategy and authorized label
Recommendations for Use
Alternation or mixing with multi-site fungicides or different FRAC groups is recommended to reduce selection pressure.
Compatibility with Beneficial Organisms
Generally yes, when used according to the recommendations and authorized doses.
Technical Notes
Epoxiconazole is notable for its high efficacy against foliar diseases in cereals and its persistence under high disease pressure. Its rapid absorption and systemic redistribution allow for effective protection of plant tissues. Due to its specific mode of action, repeated use may promote the selection of resistant strains, especially in pathogens with a history of resistance to DMI, therefore it should be integrated into FRAC strategies and integrated pest management programs.
