- Conazole 25% EC is a systemic fungicide with preventive and curative action, containing the active ingredient difenoconazole 25% formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). It is highly effective against a wide range of fungal diseases affecting vegetables, fruit and cereals, such as powdery mildew, blights, leaf spots and rust. It works by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cells, which stops fungal growth and kills the fungus, and provides long-lasting protection thanks to its systemic movement within plant tissues. It is also used in integrated pest management (IPM) programmes as an effective solution for controlling persistent fungal diseases.
Key Features:
- Controls a broad spectrum of fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, blights, rust and leaf spots.
- Works systemically inside the plant, protecting leaves, stems and fruit.
- Dual preventive and curative action that halts disease development and prevents new infections.
- Adheres to plant leaves and is rainfast.
- Safe for crops when used at the recommended rates.
- Fits flexibly into integrated fungal disease management programmes.
