Strobitek

Fungicide with protective, curative, and eradicating action, highly effective against a broad spectrum of fungi belonging to the classes Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes, and Oomycetes.

Form of the preparation and active ingredient:

Water-soluble granules, 500 g/kg.

Chemical class:

Strobilurins.

Packaging:

Bottles 0.25 kg.

Duration of protective action:

10-17 days.

Mode of action:

Strobilurins are inhibitors of cellular respiration. The mechanism of action involves inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by suppressing the activity of cytochrome c reductase. This leads to disruption of the electron transport chain in complex III of the mitochondrial membrane, which results in impaired cellular respiration. Complex III (ubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, or bc-complex) is an intermediate link in the chain of respiratory enzymes in bacteria and mitochondria of eukaryotes. It catalyzes the transfer of electrons from ubiquinone to cytochrome c. During this process, the energy of the redox reaction is converted into a chemiosmotic membrane potential. Selectivity of action is ensured by differences in the enzymatic de-esterification rates among different targets.

Properties and advantages:

Strobitek is a contact fungicide with curative action and partial systemic effect within the leaf, penetrating into plant tissues;

Exhibits translaminar activity;

Strobitek should be used only in combination with other fungicides due to its photochemical instability and high volatility;

The preparation must be applied in combination with fungicides having different modes of action.
