Azoxystrobin 40% WP Fungicide Pesticide
Azoxystrobin is a broad-spectrum QoL fungicide that is approved for use at EU level. It has a low aqueous solubility, is non-volatile and imay leach to groundwater under certain conditions. It may be persistent in soil and can also be persistent in water systems if conditions are right. It has a low mammalian toxicity but may bioaccumulate. It is a skin and eye irritant. It is moderately toxic to birds, most aquatic life, honeybees and earthworms.
Description: A post-emergence broad spectrum strobilurin fungicide used mainly for cereals
Example pests controlled: Rusts; Powdery mildew; Black rot; Scab; Anthracnose; White mould; Peg rot; Early & late blight; Leaf spot; Rice blast; Botrytis
