Xelora Fungicide – Pyraclostrobin + Thiophanate Methyl Seed Treatment by BASF

What is Xelora Fungicide?

Xelora is an advanced seed treatment fungicide developed by BASF for the protection of seeds against early-stage fungal infections. The dual-active formulation ensures long-lasting protection, improved germination, and stronger root and shoot development.

How Xelora Fungicide Works

 Dual Mode of Action for Seed Protection

• Pyraclostrobin (QoI fungicide) protects seedlings by inhibiting fungal energy production.

• Thiophanate Methyl (Systemic benzimidazole fungicide) controls fungi by inhibiting cell division.

This dual action ensures preventive and curative disease control, minimizing early crop losses.
