Application

Fluazinam is primarily used as a fungicide in agricultural applications to control diseases like late blight in potatoes and downy mildew in grapes. It is effective against a broad range of fungal pathogens, particularly Oomycetes, due to its unique mode of action disrupting mitochondrial ATP production. The compound is often applied as a foliar spray, providing both protective and curative benefits. Its strong rainfastness ensures prolonged efficacy even under adverse weather conditions. Researchers also study Fluazinam for its potential resistance management properties in integrated pest control systems.
