How much Azoxystrobin 23% SC per litre of water?

How does Azoxystrobin 23% SC work?

Azoxystrobin inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi at the cytochrome bc1 complex (Complex III), blocking ATP energy production. This stops spore germination and fungal growth, providing both preventive and curative control.

Is Azoxystrobin a systemic or contact fungicide?

Azoxystrobin 23% SC is a systemic fungicide with strong translaminar movement. It is absorbed by leaves and moves through plant tissues to protect new growth and the underside of leaves.

Can Azoxystrobin control downy mildew?

Yes. Azoxystrobin 23% SC is one of the most effective fungicides for downy mildew in grapes and cucumber, where triazole fungicides offer limited control. This makes it the preferred choice during downy mildew outbreaks.

Can Azoxystrobin be tank-mixed with other fungicides?

Yes, Azoxystrobin 23% SC is compatible with most insecticides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators. Always perform a small jar test before mixing in the spray tank.

What is the stay-green effect of Azoxystrobin?

Azoxystrobin keeps leaves greener for longer by improving photosynthesis efficiency and delaying senescence, which contributes to better grain filling, fruit development, and overall yield even beyond its disease control benefit.

Is Azoxystrobin 23% SC safe for crops?

Yes, Azoxystrobin 23% SC is safe for crops at recommended doses with low phytotoxic risk. Avoid use on apple varieties marked sensitive on the label, and always wear protective gear during spraying.
