Product Overview:
Fludioxonil is a non-systemic, broad-spectrum contact fungicide widely used for the protection of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals from fungal pathogens. Known for its exceptional efficacy at low doses, it provides long-lasting protection against a wide variety of seed-, soil-, and storage-related fungal diseases, especially those caused by Fusarium, Botrytis, Rhizoctonia, and Alternaria species.
Fludioxonil is frequently used in seed treatment, soil drenching, foliar application, and post-harvest treatments, making it a highly versatile fungicide across many stages of the crop lifecycle.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
✅ Broad-spectrum activity – highly effective against numerous fungal diseases
-
🌾 Ideal for seed treatment – enhances germination and protects young seedlings
-
🧪 Unique mode of action – inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth
-
❄️ Excellent post-harvest protection – extends shelf life of fruits and vegetables
-
💧 Low water solubility – provides persistent disease protection
-
🌿 Low risk of resistance when used as part of integrated disease management
Mode of Action:
Fludioxonil disrupts fungal osmoregulation by interfering with signal transduction pathways, leading to water imbalance and cell death. It is highly effective at inhibiting spore germination and early stages of fungal development.
Target Diseases:
-
Fusarium spp.
-
Rhizoctonia solani
-
Botrytis cinerea (gray mold)
-
Alternaria spp.
-
Penicillium spp. (post-harvest rot)
-
Helminthosporium spp.
-
Monilinia spp. (brown rot)
Recommended Uses & Crops:
-
Seed Treatment: Wheat, barley, corn, rice, soybeans, cotton, vegetables
-
Fruits & Vegetables: Apples, grapes, citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, cucurbits
-
Post-Harvest: Citrus, bananas, pome fruits
-
Ornamentals: Roses, bedding plants, cut flowers
Application Guidelines:
| Use | Rate | Method |
| Seed Treatment | 2–4 mL/kg seed (25 g/L FS) | Uniform seed coating before sowing |
| Foliar Spray | 0.3–0.5 L/ha (23% SC) | At first sign of disease |
| Soil Drenching | 200–300 mL/ha | At transplant or seedling stage |
| Post-Harvest Dip | 200–400 ppm solution | Dip fruit for 30–60 seconds |
Always follow product label instructions and local guidelines for dosage and intervals.
Compatibility:
Fludioxonil is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides, particularly in combination seed treatments or tank mixes. Avoid combining with strongly alkaline products. A jar test is recommended for new combinations.

-
🧤 Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during handling
-
🚱 Do not contaminate water bodies
-
📦 Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
-
🧪 Low mammalian toxicity and no systemic movement in plants

Fludioxonil – Advanced Contact Fungicide for Seed and Post-Harvest Disease Protection
Product Name: Fludioxonil
Chemical Name: 4-(2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile
CAS Number: 131341-86-1
Molecular Formula: C12H6F2N2O2
Formulations Available: 25 g/L SC (Suspension Concentrate), 50% WP (Wettable Powder), 2.5% FS (Flowable Seed Treatment)
Appearance: Off-white to reddish liquid or powder, depending on formulation
Packaging: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L bottles; 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg bags
Shelf Life: 2 years in original sealed packaging under recommended storage conditions
Product Overview:
Fludioxonil is a broad-spectrum, contact fungicide belonging to the phenylpyrrole class, designed for seed treatment, foliar application, and post-harvest disease management. It is highly effective against a wide range of seed- and soil-borne fungi, especially Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Alternaria, and Botrytis.
Fludioxonil is widely used for protecting seeds, ensuring better germination and seedling vigor, and post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables to reduce storage losses. It has excellent stability, long-lasting efficacy, and low resistance risk, making it an essential part of integrated fungal disease management strategies.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
✅ Broad-spectrum activity – Effective against multiple fungal genera
-
🧬 Unique mode of action – Inhibits fungal osmoregulation
-
🌱 Ideal for seed treatment – Prevents seedling damping-off and rot
-
🍎 Post-harvest use – Reduces spoilage and extends shelf life
-
⏳ Long-lasting residual effect
-
🔄 Low resistance risk due to non-cross-resistance with most fungicides
-
🧪 Excellent compatibility with other fungicides in mixtures or premixes
Mode of Action:
Fludioxonil interferes with signal transduction pathways in fungal cells, specifically inhibiting glycerol synthesis, which disrupts osmoregulation. This causes water imbalance, cell rupture, and fungal death. It is classified as a non-systemic contact fungicide but with strong persistence on treated surfaces.
Target Pathogens:
-
Fusarium spp.
-
Rhizoctonia solani
-
Alternaria spp.
-
Botrytis cinerea

Tomatoes, cucurbits, peppers (for gray mold and damping-off)
-
Ornamentals (for Botrytis and Fusarium wilt)
Application Guidelines:
| Use | Rate | Method |
| Seed Treatment | 2–3 mL/kg seed (2.5% FS) | Apply via seed treater or drum |
| Post-Harvest Dip | 200–300 mL/100 L water (25 g/L SC) | Dip or spray before storage |
