- Azostear 325 SC is a systemic fungicide, both preventative and curative, containing two active ingredients: azoxystrobin (20%) and difenoconazole (12.5%), in the form of a suspension concentrate. This fungicide combines two powerful effects to control a wide range of fungal diseases affecting agricultural crops, such as blight, powdery and downy mildew, leaf spot, and gray mold. Azostear works by inhibiting respiration in fungal cells and preventing cell wall formation, leading to spore growth cessation and ultimately fungal death. It is characterized by its rapid penetration into plant tissues, providing long-lasting preventative and curative protection.
