Propiconazole
Molecular Formula C15H17Cl2N3O2
EINECS No. 262-104-4
Propiconazole is a triazole-based fungicide that is used to control fungi in agriculture, on turf, and in wood.
Dual-Action Fungicidal Efficacy
Propiconazole, a broad-spectrum triazole fungicide, exhibits both protective and curative effects. It disrupts fungal ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibiting sterol demethylation, leading to cell membrane damage and pathogen death. This mechanism effectively controls diseases caused by Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Deuteromycota fungi, while showing no activity against Oomycetes (e.g., downy mildew)
Propiconazole Unique Advantages
Rapid absorption: Achieves systemic distribution within 30 minutes of application.
Extended protection: Maintains 15-35 days residual activity, reducing spray frequency.
Vapor-phase activity: Ensures uniform redistribution even with uneven spraying.
Growth regulation: Moderates plant height by suppressing gibberellin synthesis.
Fruits: Propiconazole Manages banana leaf spot and grape powdery mildew/anthracnose58.
Vegetables: Propiconazole Suppresses tomato late blight, bean rust, and chili leaf spot45.
Rice: Propiconazole Prevents sheath blight and bakanae disease28.
Oil Crops: Propiconazole Reduces peanut leaf spot severity
