Ethaboxam Advanced Systemic Fungicide for Oomycete Control

🌿 Ethaboxam – Advanced Systemic Fungicide for Oomycete Control

Common Name: Ethaboxam
Chemical Name: N-(α-cyanobenzyl)-4-ethyl-2-(ethylamino)-5-thiazolecarboxamide
CAS Number: 162650-77-3
Molecular Formula: C13H15N5OS
Formulation Types: Suspension Concentrate (SC), Wettable Powder (WP)
Mode of Action: Inhibits cell wall biosynthesis in Oomycete fungi
FRAC Code: 22 (Group U17 – Unique site of action)

🔍 Product Overview:

Ethaboxam is a highly effective systemic fungicide developed specifically for the control of Oomycete fungi, including species responsible for late blight, downy mildew, and Pythium root rot. With a novel mode of action that targets the fungal cell wall biosynthesis, Ethaboxam offers robust protection against pathogens that are increasingly resistant to conventional fungicides like metalaxyl and mefenoxam.

This cutting-edge fungicide can be applied as a soil treatment, seed treatment, or foliar spray, making it a versatile tool in both open-field and greenhouse environments.

✅ Key Features and Benefits:

• ✔️ Unique mode of action – effective even against metalaxyl-resistant strains

• ✔️ Systemic and protectant activity – protects roots, stems, and foliage

• ✔️ Long-lasting residual effect

• ✔️ Effective as a preventive and early curative treatment

• ✔️ Excellent safety profile on a wide range of crops

• ✔️ Suitable for resistance management programs

🌱 Target Crops:

• 🥔 Potatoes

• 🍅 Tomatoes

• 🍇 Grapes

• 🥒 Cucurbits (cucumber, melon, squash)

• 🧅 Onions, garlic

• 🌾 Rice

• 🌿 Lettuce and leafy vegetables

• 🌸 Ornamentals

🦠 Target Pathogens:

• Phytophthora infestans (late blight)

• Pythium spp. (root rot and damping-off)

• Peronospora spp. (downy mildew)

• Plasmopara viticola (downy mildew in grapes)

• Other Oomycete species affecting roots and shoots

⚙️ Mode of Action:

Ethaboxam acts by inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis, a unique mode of action not shared with most common fungicides. This blocks the growth and reproduction of Oomycete fungi at early developmental stages, including spore germination and mycelial development.

Because it is systemic, Ethaboxam is absorbed and translocated through the plant, allowing internal protection of untreated tissues.

📋 Application Guidelines:

• Application Frequency: Every 7–14 days depending on disease pressure

• Water Volume: Ensure thorough coverage of plant canopy or soil

• Compatibility: Can be tank-mixed with other fungicides (verify compatibility before mixing)

⚠️ Safety and Environmental Information:

• Toxicity: Low toxicity to humans, birds, and beneficial insects

• Environmental Fate: Low leaching potential; follow local environmental guidelines

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use gloves and protective clothing during handling

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Typically 7–14 days depending on crop

• Re-entry Interval (REI): 12 hours unless otherwise specified

🔁 Resistance Management:

• Belongs to FRAC Group 22 (U17)

• Use in alternation with fungicides of different modes of action

• Avoid consecutive applications to slow down resistance development

• Ideal for integrated pest and disease management programs

📦 Packaging and Storage:

• Available in 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, and 5 L packaging

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures below 30°C

• Shelf Life: 2 years in original sealed containers

🏁 Conclusion:

Ethaboxam is a next-generation fungicide offering broad-spectrum control of Oomycete diseases with a unique mode of action and excellent residual performance. Whether applied via foliar spray, seed treatment, or soil application, it delivers exceptional protection in various crop systems. Its ability to combat resistant strains and integrate into rotation programs makes it a valuable asset for modern agriculture.
