DuoGuard is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide that effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing two active ingredients: Azoxystrobin and Difenoconazole. This combination provides a synergistic effect, enhancing the fungicidal activity and offering a broader spectrum of control.
Azoxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin group of fungicides, inhibiting fungal respiration by disrupting the electron transport chain. Difenoconazole, a triazole fungicide, interferes with ergosterol biosynthesis, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Together, these active ingredients provide preventive, curative, and eradicative action against various fungal pathogens.
Benefits of DuoGuard:
- Broad-spectrum control against a wide range of fungal diseases
- Dual-mode action for enhanced efficacy and resistance management
- Systemic activity for protection of both treated and untreated plant parts
- Translaminar movement for effective control of hidden pathogens
- Long-lasting residual activity for extended protection
