Description
Mode of Action
Propiconazole, a triazole fungicide, acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. It blocks the activity of the enzyme Lanosterol 14α-demethylase, which is responsible for converting lanosterol into ergosterol. This disruption of ergosterol synthesis leads to the accumulation of toxic sterols in the fungal cell membrane, causing membrane dysfunction, leakage of cellular contents, and ultimately the death of the fungus.
Tricyclazole, a protective systemic fungicide, works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme tricyclazole reductase. This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of tricyclazole within the fungal cells. By blocking this enzyme, tricyclazole disrupts key metabolic processes in the fungi, impairing their growth, reproduction, and overall survival.
