 TRIAZOLE FUNGICIDES: WHICH IS BETTER
 The main active ingredients registered include:
 COMPARISON OF PREVENTS AND CONTROLS
 Difenoconazole: Broad-spectrum fungicide with preventive and curative action, for control of scab, anthracnose,
white rot, powdery mildew, brown spot, Alternaria leaf spot, rust, gibberellic disease, etc. in cereals, rice, soya
beans, potatoes, sugar beet, oilseed rape, grapes, pome fruit, stone fruit, bananas, ornamentals and various
vegetable crops.
 Tebuconazole: Broad-spectrum fungicide with protective, curative and eradicative action, for control of powdery
mildew, rust, scab, damping off, root rot, leaf mold and various spot diseases, etc. in wheat, rice, maize,
sorghum, peanut, vegetables, banana, apple, pear, etc. Especially for the leaf spots of solanaceous vegetables.
 Propiconazole: Broad-spectrum fungicide with protective and curative action, for control of leaf spot,
anthracnose, powdery mildew, leaf mold, etc. in wheat, barley, rice, maize, vegetables, banana, grape,
watermelon, litchi, etc.
 Epoxiconazole: Broad-spectrum fungicide with preventive and curative action, for control of leaf spot, powdery
mildew, rust, anthracnose, white rot, etc. in cereals, rice, coffee, peanut, sugar beet, celery, kidney bean, melons,
bananas, grape, etc.
 Flusilazole: Broad-spectrum fungicide with preventive and curative action, for control of powdery mildew, scab,
leaf spot, rust etc. in cereals, maize, oilseed rape, sugar beet, pear, apple, peach, grape, banana, sunflowers, etc.

 Difenoconazole > Tebuconazole > Propiconazole > Flusilazole > Epoxiconazole

 COMPARISON OF SYSTEMIC:
 Difenoconazole: Systemic fungicide. Absorbed by the leaves, with acropetal and strong translaminar translocation.
 Tebuconazole: Systemic fungicide. Rapidly absorbed into the vegetative parts of the plant, with translocation principally
acropetally.
 Propiconazole: Systemic foliar fungicide, with translocation acropetally in the xylem.
 Epoxiconazole: It has strong systemic, can be quickly absorbed by the plants and conduction to the infected area, make
the disease infect to immediately stop, prevention and control of local administer thoroughly.
 Flusilazole: Systemic fungicide, absorbed through the stem and leaves, moving in the xylem. It can be moved from the
spray site to other parts and distributed again.

Flusilazole ≥ Propiconazole > Epoxiconazole ≥ Tebuconazole > Difenoconazole

 COMPARISON OF SAFETY:
 Difenoconazole: In wheat, early foliar applications at growth stages 29–42 might cause, in certain
circumstances, chlorotic spotting of leaves, but this has no effect on yield.
 Tebuconazole: Good plant compatibility in most crops with any formulation, and achieved in more sensitive
crops by appropriate formulations, e.g. WP, WG or SC.
 Propiconazole: Unstable at high temperatures. Some dicotyledon crops and certain varieties of grapes and
apples can cause phytotoxicity. The common phytotoxicity symptoms during foliar spraying are hardening of
young tissues, brittle, easy to break, thickening of leaves, darkening of leaves, slow plant growth (generally
will not cause growth stop), dwarf, tissue necrosis, chlorosis, perforation, etc. Seed treatment will delay the
germination of cotyledon.
 Epoxiconazole: Pay attention to the amount and climate, otherwise it will be easy to cause phytotoxicity. It
may cause phytotoxicity to melon vegetables. In tomato will lead to the top of the tomato bud flowers and
young fruit water loss.
 Flusilazole: Flusilazole has a long-lasting period and it is prone to cumulative toxicity. The recommended
interval period is more than 10 days.
 Difenoconazole > Tebuconazole > Flusilazole ≥ Propiconazole ≥ Epoxiconazole
 COMPARISON OF FAST ACTING:
Triazole fungicides have strong translocation, so the absorption effect is relatively fast.
 Fast acting: Flusilazole > Propiconazole > Epoxiconazole > Tebuconazole ≥ Difenoconazole
 COMPARISON OF INHIBITION OF PLANT GROWTH:

Triazole fungicides can inhibit the synthesis of gibberellin in plants, resulting in slow apical growth and shortened
internodes.
 
Inhibition of plant growth:
Epoxiconazole > Flusilazole > Propiconazole > Tebuconazole > Difenoconazole
 COMPARISON OF CONTROL EFFICACY AGAINST
 Control efficacy against anthracnose: Difenoconazole > Propiconazole > Flusilazole > Epoxiconazole
 Control efficacy against leaf spot: Epoxiconazole > Propiconazole > Difenoconazole > Tebuconazole
 Control efficacy against scab: Flusilazole > Difenoconazole > Epoxiconazole > Tebuconazole > Propiconazole

 STROBILURIN FUNGICIDES: WHICH IS BETTER
 The main active ingredients registered include:
Comparison of Systemic Property
Azoxystrobin: Systemic fungicide, absorbed by roots and leaves, translocated acropetally and by translaminar mobility.
