EBS Custom Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% Sc 

1. Product Overview:

Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC (Suspension Concentrate) is a broad-spectrum fungicide combination that combines the protective properties of Azoxystrobin, a strobilurin fungicide, and Tebuconazole, a triazole fungicide. This powerful blend is formulated to provide effective control of a wide range of fungal diseases in a variety of agricultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals.

The product combines the systemic action of Tebuconazole with the preventive activity of Azoxystrobin, providing long-lasting protection against both foliar and soil-borne fungal pathogens. The unique formulation of Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC ensures enhanced disease control while also promoting crop health and improved yield quality.

• Azoxystrobin (11%) – A strobilurin fungicide that provides protective action by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, leading to the suppression of spore germination and mycelial growth.

• Tebuconazole (18.3%) – A triazole fungicide that interferes with fungal cell membrane synthesis, specifically inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane, resulting in fungal growth inhibition.

2. Mode of Action:

The dual-action of Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole provides comprehensive control over fungal diseases through both preventive and curative modes of action.

• Azoxystrobin:

  • Mode of Action: Azoxystrobin inhibits the mitochondrial respiration in fungi by binding to complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex) of the electron transport chain. This prevents the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), essential for the energy production of the fungus, leading to fungal cell death.

  • Activity: Azoxystrobin acts preventively by blocking the germination of fungal spores and the growth of mycelium, offering long-lasting protection against fungal infections.

• Tebuconazole:

  • Mode of Action: Tebuconazole works by inhibiting the enzyme 14-alpha demethylase, which is crucial in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. Ergosterol is an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, and its inhibition results in disruption of cell membrane integrity, leading to fungal cell death.

  • Activity: Tebuconazole provides curative action by stopping fungal growth and limiting the spread of infections that have already occurred, while also offering some preventive protection.

This combination of Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole creates a synergistic effect, providing broad-spectrum disease control for both preventive and curative applications, with effective activity against a wide range of fungal pathogens.

3. Target Fungal Diseases:

Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC is effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens affecting a variety of crops. Its combination of systemic and contact activity makes it effective in managing both preventive control and curative control for various fungal diseases.
