Description

Thifluzamide is a fungicide used to control rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea. It is a highly effective fungicide with a broad spectrum of activity against a variety of fungal diseases. Thifluzamide is a member of the carboxamide class of fungicides and acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Thifluzamide is absorbed by plants and translocated throughout the plant, providing systemic protection against fungal diseases. It is applied to rice crops as a foliar spray and is also used as a seed treatment. Thifluzamide is a relatively new fungicide, and its synthesis is a complex process that involves multiple steps. It is studied for its potential to control other fungal diseases in crops, including wheat, barley, and soybeans. Researchers are also investigating its potential for use as a biocontrol agent against fungal pathogens.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Thifluzamide is an effective agent for controlling rice sheath blight and has a long half-life in soil. It is widely used to control crop diseases, and therefore constitutes a hazard to the environment.
