EBS TROBIN Azoxystrobin 23% SC Systemic Fungicide

EBS TROBIN Azoxystrobin 23% SC

1. Product Overview:

Azoxystrobin 23% SC is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide belonging to the strobilurin group. It is highly effective in preventing and controlling fungal diseases in various crops by inhibiting fungal respiration, thus stopping fungal growth and reproduction.

• Highly systemic – Moves within the plant to protect new and existing growth.

• Translaminar action – Provides uniform protection across leaf surfaces.

• Preventive and curative properties – Protects crops before infection and stops disease progression.

• Long residual activity – Offers extended protection for 15-20 days.

This advanced fungicide helps in improving crop health, enhancing photosynthesis, and ensuring higher yields.

2. Mode of Action:

Azoxystrobin 23% SC works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, stopping energy production, and preventing spore germination. It belongs to the QoI (Quinone outside Inhibitor) group, which disrupts ATP synthesis, making it highly effective against spore-forming fungi.

✅ Systemic Absorption – Quickly penetrates plant tissues and moves upward to protect new growth.
✅ Protective Shield – Prevents infection by forming a coating on the plant surface.
✅ Prevents Spore Germination – Stops fungal reproduction before it starts.
✅ Translaminar & Mesostemic Activity – Spreads within the leaves for deep penetration and longer protection.

3. Target Diseases Controlled:

Azoxystrobin 23% SC is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including:

✅ Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe spp., Oidium spp.) – Grapes, Cucurbits, Mango
✅ Rusts (Puccinia spp.) – Wheat, Soybean, Pulses
✅ Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola) – Grapes, Cucurbits
✅ Early & Late Blight (Alternaria solani, Phytophthora infestans) – Tomato, Potato
✅ Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) – Rice
✅ Anthracnose (Colletotrichum spp.) – Chilli, Mango
✅ Leaf Spot & Scab (Cercospora spp., Venturia inaequalis) – Groundnut, Apple
✅ Sigatoka Disease (Mycosphaerella spp.) – Banana

4. Recommended Crops:
