LOUISE 50 SC
INTRODUCTION: FRAC GROUP 29 FUNGICIDES (uncoupler of Oxidative phosphorylation) Fluazinam is a broad-spectrum fungicide used in agriculture. It is classed as a diarylamine and more specifically an arylaminopyridine. Itschemical name is 3-chloro-N-(3-chloro-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinamine. Themode of action involves the compound being an extremely potent uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation inmitochondria and also having high reactivity with thiols. It is unique amongst uncouplers in displaying broad-spectrumactivity against fungi and also very low toxicity to mammals due to it being rapidly metabolised to a compound withoutuncoupling activity. It was first described in 1992 and was developed by researchers at the Japanese companyIshihara Sangyo Kaisha

USAGES: Fluazinam is a protectant fungicide, but is neither systemic or curative. It acts byinhibiting the germination of spores and the development of infection structures. Although it has activity against manyfungi, it is less potent against rusts and powdery mildew and as such has not been commercialised for use in cerealcrops. It is widely used to control late blight (P. infestans) in potato due to its activity against the zoospores of thepathogen which makes it particularly effective at controlling infection of the potato tubers. Fluazinam is also used tocontrol Sclerotinia on peanuts and turf, Botrytis on grapes and beans and clubroot in brassicas Used as :Agrochemicals -> Pesticides Acaricides, Fungicides Used in the US as a fungicide for peanuts and potatoe
