Trifloxystrobin NOMENCLATURE Common name trifloxystrobine ((m) F-ISO); trifloxystrobin (BSI, E-ISO) IUPAC name methyl (E)-methoxyimino-{(E)-α-[1-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)ethylideneaminooxy]-o-tolyl}acetate Chemical Abstracts name methyl (αE)-α-(methoxyimino)-2-[[[(E)-[1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethylidene]amino]oxy]methyl]benzeneacetate CAS RN [141517-21-7], formerly [221007-60-9]
Trifloxystrobin APPLICATIONS Trifloxystrobin Biochemistry Quinone outside Inhibitor (QoI). Inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer at the Qo centre of cytochrome bc1.
Trifloxystrobin Mode of action Mesostemic, broad-spectrum fungicide with mainly preventive activity. Particular characteristics are redistribution by superficial vapour movement and surface water, good rain-fastness, and residual activity.
Trifloxystrobin Uses Active against fungi of all four classes - Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes, Basidiomycetes and Oomycetes. Controls powdery mildew, leaf spot and fruit diseases in the early stages of fungal development (including spore germination, germ tube extension and appressorium formation). Registered for use in field crops: cereals, soya beans, corn, rice, cotton, peanuts, sugar beet and sunflowers; horticultural crops: pome fruit, stone fruit, tropical fruit, bananas, grapes, soft fruit, and many vegetables, as well as ornamentals and turf. Application rates depend on crop, disease and application method, and range from 50 to 550 g a.i./ha.
