Fluxis

Technical Analysis: The Synergistic Core of Fluxis

The fungicide "Fluxis" by Sharda Cropchem is built upon a strategic dual-active formulation: Azoxystrobin (strobilurins) and Flutriafol (triazoles). This specific combination addresses the pathogen’s metabolism from two distinct vectors: the inhibition of mitochondrial respiration and the disruption of ergosterol biosynthesis, effectively halting fungal development at multiple life-cycle stages.

Mechanism of Action and Field Performance

Designed as a suspension concentrate, Fluxis leverages both contact and systemic properties, ensuring optimal coverage and long-lasting protection. The physical properties of the formulation enable superior rain-fastness and surface adhesion.

• Translaminar Migration: Azoxystrobin penetrates the leaf cuticle, providing protective coverage on the underside of leaves that might have been missed by initial spray application.
• Systemic Redistribution: Flutriafol is rapidly translocated through the plant’s vascular system, protecting new growth and eradicating established mycelium from within the leaf tissue.

For crops such as soybean and sunflower, this dual-mode system is essential for managing persistent diseases like Septoria, Phomopsis, and Cercospora. The system provides a robust defense against oxidative stress and fungal pathogens during critical development stages.

Application Guidelines

The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare. Due to its potent active ingredients, the label restricts application to a maximum of two treatments per season to manage resistance risks effectively. Classified as a Hazard Class 2 product, Fluxis requires strict adherence to PPE protocols and environmental safety regulations during handling and field application.
