Introduction

TOPGUN DF is a broad-spectrum fungicide that effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and turfgrass. It contains copper oxychloride as its active ingredient, a contact fungicide that disrupts cell membranes and enzymes in fungal cells, leading to cell death.

Mode of Action

TOPGUN DF Fungicide acts as a contact fungicide. Copper oxychloride adheres to the surface of plant tissues, providing protection against fungal spores and actively growing fungal colonies. When fungal spores land on the treated plant surface, they come into contact with copper oxychloride, which disrupts their cell membranes and prevents them from germinating and infecting the plant. Additionally, copper oxychloride inhibits the growth and development of existing fungal colonies.

The recommended application rate of TOPGUN® DF Fungicide varies depending on the specific crop, target disease, severity of infection, and application method. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.
