Mode of Action
- Fenamidone acts by disturbing the transmission of energy in the pathogen's mitochondria. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration. Its high level of activity against zoospore liberation and direct cyst and sporangial germination ensures consistently good preventive efficacy. It also exhibits curative and antisporulant effects due to a partial translaminar penetration into the leaves.
- Mancozeb reacts with, and inactivates, the sulfhydryl groups of amino acids and enzymes within fungal cells, resulting in disruption of lipid metabolism, respiration, and production of adenosine triphosphate. Mancozeb has a Multi-Site Activity
