How does Trifloxystrobin 50% WDG work?
Trifloxystrobin works by
inhibiting the respiration process in fungal pathogens, ultimately leading to their death.
It disrupts the electron transport chain in the mitochondria of the fungi, preventing them
from generating energy and reproducing. This mode of action makes Trifloxystrobin a highly
effective fungicide against a broad spectrum of fungal diseases.
What crops can
