Fungal diseases can wreak havoc on everything from athletic fields to agricultural crops. Fortunately, scientists have spent decades creating and refining safe, effective fungicides. One such fungicide is azoxystrobin.
Azoxystrobin is an EPA-approved broad-spectrum systemic fungicide. It was first introduced to the market in 1996 and has since become widely used for commercial and residential applications. Azoxystrobin has both protenctant and curative properties, which means it can be used for prevention or treatment of a variety of common fungal diseases.
Azoxystrobin inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells. Its active ingredient binds at the quinol outer binding site of the cytochrome b-c1 complex, thereby blocking the electron transport process. This prevents the fungus from completing its metabolic process, stopping growth and essentially starving it until it can no longer survive.
Azoxystrobin is effective against a vast array of fungal diseases, including:
Azoxystrobin has a low level of toxicity to humans and other mammals. However, as with any chemical, it is important to follow all safety instructions when using azoxystrobin products. It is also important to note that azoxystrobin has a high level of toxicity to aquatic crustaceans, and must be kept out of waterways.
Azoxystrobin is appropriate for use in a variety of locations, including:
