General Information:

• Trade name: Sectin
• Active ingredients: Fenamidone (10%) and Mancozeb (50%)
• Fungicide class: Contact and systemic fungicide

Mode of Action:

Sectin is a contact and systemic fungicide that works by two different modes of action. Fenamidone is a systemic fungicide that inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transport at ubihydroquinone: cytochrome-c-oxidoreductase (Complex III). Mancozeb is a contact fungicide that acts as a non-specific thiol reactant, inhibiting respiration.

Application:

Sectin can be applied to a variety of crops, including potatoes, tomatoes, grapes, and vegetables. It can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, but it is most effective when applied preventatively. Sectin can be applied using a variety of application methods, including ground spraying, aerial spraying, and chemigation.

Precautions:

• Sectin is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply Sectin to areas where it may run off into water bodies.
• Sectin can be harmful to non-target plants. Avoid applying Sectin to areas where non-target plants are growing.
• Sectin is a residual fungicide, so it can persist in the soil for several weeks. Do not plant crops that are sensitive to Sectin within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Sectin fungicide to ensure safe and effective use.

Additional Information:

• Sectin is a broad-spectrum fungicide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including:
  • Late blight (Phytophthora infestans)
  • Early blight (Alternaria solani)
  • Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)
  • Powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii)
  • Botrytis (Botrytis cinerea)
• Sectin is a combination fungicide, which means that it contains two different active ingredients with different modes of action. This makes it less likely that the fungus will develop resistance to Sectin.

Sectin is a valuable tool for farmers and other land managers who need to control fungal diseases in a variety of crops. It is important to use Sectin according to the label directions to ensure safe and effective use.
