Product Overview

Natco Pharma Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% w/w SC is a broad-spectrum fungicide that effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turfgrass. It contains two active ingredients: azoxystrobin (11%) and tebuconazole (18.3%). Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that acts as a preventive and curative fungicide. It disrupts the electron transport chain in fungal cells, preventing them from producing energy and leading to their death. Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide that acts as a preventive and curative fungicide. It inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis, which is essential for the formation of fungal cell membranes.

Key Features

• Effective against a wide range of fungal diseases
• Preventive and curative action
• Systemic and contact activity
• Rainfast

Mode of Action

Natco Pharma Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% w/w SC acts as a preventive and curative fungicide with both systemic and contact activity. Azoxystrobin is absorbed by the plant and moves throughout the plant, reaching the infection sites. It disrupts the electron transport chain in fungal cells, preventing them from producing energy and leading to their death. Tebuconazole also acts systemically within the plant and exhibits translaminar movement, meaning it can move within the plant's tissues, providing control against diseases that attack both the upper and lower leaf surfaces. Tebuconazole inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis, which is essential for the formation of fungal cell membranes.
