Trifloxystrobin is a synthetic derivative of the naturally occurring strobilurins found in several genera of wood-decaying fungi, such as Strobilurus tenacellus. It is a strobilurin foliar fungicide. Trifloxystrobin inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer within the respiratory chain. As a result, trifloxystrobin is a potent inhibitor of fungal spore germination and mycelial growth. It shows a high level of activity against many fungal pathogens in the Ascomycete, Deuteromycete, Basidiomycete, and Oomycete classes.
Pests controlled by trifloxystrobin include grape and cucurbit powdery mildew, apple scab and powdery mildew, peanut leaf spot, and brown patch of turfgrass. It can be applied to cereals, ornamentals, vegetables (carrots, asparagus, cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, and root vegetables except radish), fruits (apples, pears, grapes, strawberries), and tropical crops. Trifloxystrobin is an agricultural, broad-spectrum foliar fungicide used in crop protection. It acts by inhibiting fungal spore germination.
