Difenoconazole Broad-Spectrum Systemic Fungicide

Difenoconazole – Broad-Spectrum Systemic Fungicide

CAS Number: 119446-68-3
Molecular Formula: C₁₉H₁₇Cl₂N₃O₃
Formulations Available:

• Technical Grade: 95% TC

• Formulated Products: 25% EC, 250 g/L SC, 10% WG, Seed Treatment (FS)

Product Description:

Difenoconazole is a high-performance systemic fungicide belonging to the triazole chemical family. It is extensively used in modern agriculture for its preventative, curative, and eradicative activity against a wide range of fungal diseases. This product is absorbed quickly by the plant and provides long-lasting protection by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis—an essential component of fungal cell membranes.

Mode of Action:

Difenoconazole works by inhibiting the enzyme C-14 demethylase involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell walls. This disruption halts the growth and proliferation of the fungus, effectively stopping infections and preventing new ones.

Benefits & Features:

• ✅ Triple Action: Preventive, curative, and eradicative properties

• ✅ Systemic Protection: Moves within plant tissues to protect new growth

• ✅ Broad Crop Coverage: Suitable for cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals

• ✅ Low Use Rates: Highly effective even at low application rates

• ✅ Rainfast: Once absorbed, it remains effective after rainfall

• ✅ Compatibility: Can be tank-mixed with many other agrochemicals

Recommended Uses:

Application Guidelines:

• Foliar Application: 100–300 mL per hectare depending on crop and disease pressure

Product Overview:

Difenoconazole is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide belonging to the triazole class. It is widely used in agriculture to control a wide range of fungal diseases affecting crops such as fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants. Difenoconazole acts by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes, effectively stopping the growth and spread of fungal pathogens.

Key Features:

• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against powdery mildew, rusts, leaf spots, scabs, and blights

• Systemic action: Absorbed by the plant and transported through its vascular system for long-lasting protection

• Preventive & curative: Offers both protective and early curative activity

• Rainfast: Strong binding to plant surfaces ensures effectiveness even after rainfall

• Crop-safe: Designed to be safe on a wide range of crops when used as directed
