Mode of Action:

Sercadis Plus is a systemic fungicide that works by two different modes of action. Fluxapyroxad is a unique fungicide with a novel mode of action. It disrupts the synthesis of melanin, a protective pigment that helps fungi survive. Difenconazole is a triazole fungicide that inhibits the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This combination of modes of action makes Sercadis Plus very effective against a wide range of fungal diseases.

Application:

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

Precautions:

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

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

Additional Information:
