Pesticide Classification: Fungicide
Trade name: Conform 80% WG
Chemical group: Methoxyacrylate, as a member of Strobilurin
structure:
Conform efficacy:
Preventive, curative and eradicative fungicide, inhibits spores germination of and the growth of mycelium, and also has antisporulant activity, which makes it an effective eradicative in case of disease epidemics.
Systemic action inside the plant:
Conform is a systemic fungicide, which is transmitted between the upper surface and the lower surface of the leaves
Mode of action
Inhibition of respiration inside the mitochondria in fungi cells by blocking electron transfer between cytochrome b and cytochrome c sites, which is an important distinctive site for oxidation, which distinguishes it by controlling strains of fungi resistant to pesticides that inhibit the demethylation enzyme, such as pesticides belonging to phenylamide groups, dicarboxy amide group and benzimidazole group.
Fungal diseases controlled by Conform:
Conform is a broad-spectrum fungicide effective against downy mildew, spotting, anthracnose, powdery mildew, rust, blight, fruit rot, diseases caused by infection with rhizoctonia fungus on cucurbit crops, potatoes, tomatoes, grapes, citrus, grasses, peanuts, and lawns.
Diseases that are controlled by Conform: according to the recommendations of the pesticides committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and land reclamation with registration number 3571
