Since triazolone was launched on the market in 1973, triazole fungicides have developed rapidly. At present, triazole fungicides are used in the largest amount. Among them, penconazole is a typical representative of triazole fungicides first discovered by Fibrelam.
Penconazole is a new generation of broad-spectrum and high-efficiency antifungal triazole fungicides. It is mainly used to control rice sheath blight, wheat rust, cucurbit downy mildew, and other diseases. Penconazole has the advantages of low toxicity, no residue, no pollution to the environment, and safe use.

How does penconazole work?
Penconazole is a triazole endogenous fungicide, which can be quickly absorbed and conducted by plants, and has good protective and therapeutic effects.
The main mechanism of action of penconazole is a sterol demethylation inhibitor, which destroys and prevents the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an important component of the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in the failure of the cell membrane to form and the death of the bacteria.
What are the benefits of using penconazole?
Penconazole is a systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. Absorbed by the leaves, with translocation acropetally. Penconazole can be used to control powdery mildew, pome fruit scab, and other pathogenic diseases on vines, pome fruit, stone fruit, ornamentls, hops, and vegetables.
Its holding period can be up to 15 days, and has little inhibitory effect on crops. It can be used as a single or compound agent.
The use of Penconazole
Penconazole is mainly used as a fungicide in agriculture and horticulture to control fungal diseases of various crops, including fruits, vegetables, grains, ornamentals, and turf grasses. The following are some specific prevention methods for penconazole:
To control grape white rot, it is advisable to apply pesticides at the early stage of the disease and spray with 2500 times 10% penconazole EC. Valid for 15 days.
To control apple and pear scab, spray with 10% penconazole EC 1000 times liquid, spray once every 7-10 days, and generally spray 2-3 times, the effect is remarkable.
To prevent peach brown spot disease, spray 10% penconazole EC 1000 times liquid at the early stage of the disease, spray once every 7-10 days, and spray 2-3 times continuously.
When using penconazole, you must strictly follow the instructions and pay attention to safety.
