Description
Mode of Action
Tebuconazole belongs to the triazole group of fungicides and acts as a demethylation inhibitor (DMI). Its mode of action involves inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. Without sufficient ergosterol, the integrity and functionality of the fungal cell membranes are compromised, leading to cell death. Tebuconazole’s effect on ergosterol biosynthesis disrupts multiple metabolic processes in the fungal cells, ultimately inhibiting their growth and preventing the development of fungal diseases. Captan is a multi-site contact fungicide that acts by interfering with several metabolic processes within fungal cells. It works by inhibiting energy production and disrupting enzyme systems involved in key cellular functions. Captan’s mode of action is non-specific, affecting multiple targets within the fungal cells. This multi-site action makes it less prone to the development of resistance in fungal populations.
