MODE OF ACTION

Propineb interferes at different locations in the metabolism of the fungi; on several points of the respiration chain, in the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins, in the cell membranes. This multi-site mode of action of Propineb prevents development of resistance in the fungi.

Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Classification No.M 3

ADVANTAGES

• Antracol has broad spectrum of activity
• Both contact and preventive action.
• As a result of its multi-site complex mode of action, Antracol is particularly suited for use in spraying programs to combat and prevent the selection of resistant population of fungal pathogen.
• Superior formulation: fine particle size, better suspension in water.
• Rainfastness leading to better efficacy
•  Availability of zinc – positive effect on crop as a whole and improves immunity of plants resulting in higher yields and improvement in quality.
•  Safety: Being extremely low in toxicity Antracol is ideally suited for IPM programs.
