Product Name: Mepanipyrim
Chemical Name: N-(4-Methyl-6-prop-1-ynylpyrimidin-2-yl)aniline
CAS Number: 110235-47-7
Chemical Class: Anilinopyrimidine fungicide
Formulation Types: Wettable Powder (WP), Water-Dispersible Granules (WG), Suspension Concentrate (SC)
🌿 Product Overview:
Mepanipyrim is a systemic and protective fungicide belonging to the anilinopyrimidine class, designed for effective control of various fungal diseases, particularly Botrytis cinerea (gray mold) and Monilinia spp. (brown rot). It is widely used in fruit orchards, vineyards, and ornamentals for its preventative and curative properties.
Mepanipyrim exhibits translaminar and locally systemic movement, providing strong protection on and within the plant tissues. It interferes with fungal development at multiple stages including spore germination, germ tube elongation, and mycelial growth, making it highly effective in early and late stages of infection.
🔍 Key Features & Benefits:
-
✅ Highly effective against Botrytis and Monilinia infections
-
✅ Locally systemic and translaminar activity for deep protection
-
✅ Works both preventatively and curatively
-
✅ Excellent residual activity with long-lasting effect
-
✅ Ideal for resistance management when used in rotation
-
✅ Can be used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs
-
✅ Safe on crops with no phytotoxic effects when used as directed
🌾 Recommended Crops:
-
Grapes (wine and table varieties)
-
Stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries, apricots)
-
Pome fruits (apples, pears)
-
Strawberries and other berries
-
Tomatoes and other vegetables
-
Ornamentals and cut flowers
🦠 Diseases Controlled:
-
Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea)
-
Brown rot (Monilinia fructicola, M. laxa, M. fructigena)
-
Blossom blight
-
Alternaria leaf spots (secondary control)
-
Other Botrytis-related diseases in vegetables and ornamentals
⚙️ Mode of Action:
Mepanipyrim disrupts fungal signal transduction pathways, specifically targeting methionine biosynthesis and spore development, thereby inhibiting spore germination, hyphal growth, and infection processes. It acts primarily as a fungal growth inhibitor.
📋 Application Guidelines:
-
Application Method: Foliar spray
-
Typical Dosage: 0.5 – 1.5 kg or L/ha, depending on crop and disease severity
-
Spray Interval: 7–10 days, especially during flowering and pre-harvest stages
-
Water Volume: 400–1000 L/ha for good coverage
-
PHI (Pre-Harvest Interval):
-
Grapes: 7 days
-
Stone fruits: 3–7 days
-
Strawberries: 3 days
✅ Best results are achieved when applied preventatively or at the onset of flowering, especially in wet or humid conditions conducive to disease development.
