Pyraclostrobin

Pyraclostrobin, 吡唑醚菌酯 other name: methyl [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxycarbamate

CAS No.: [175013-18-0]

Molecular Formula: C19H18ClN3O4


Pyraclostrobin is a broad-spectrum fungicide, controlling major plant pathogens from the ascomycete, basidiomycete, deuteromycete and oomycete classes of fungi.

Pyraclostrobin has protective, curative, eradicative, translaminar and locosystemic properties. Pyraclostrobin is taken up rapidly by the plant and is largely retained by the waxes in the leaf cuticle. It demonstrates good translaminar movement through the leaf, resulting in disease control on both leaf surfaces. Acropetal and basipetal transport in leaves and vapour phase activity is very limited. Microscopic studies revealed that preventative treatments at concentrations of less than 0.1 ppm inhibit spore germination of a wide range of pathogens. The rapid uptake by the leaf and subsequent retention in the cuticular waxes means that applications are rainfast within 2 hours. After a curative or, against some diseases, an eradicative treatment, mycelium development is inhibited. Despite this post infection activity, the recommended use of pyraclostrobin will be preventative in accordance with the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee guidelines.

Pyraclostrobin is also reported to have beneficial effects on plant growth and yield and these are attributed to enhanced nitrate reductase activity leading to improved nitrogen assimilation during the stages of rapid crop growth and decreased ethylene production resulting in delayed senescence. Pyraclostrobin offers good to excellent control of most cereal leaf and ear diseases.
