Chlorostrobin 56SC: Dual Action Fungicide for Potato & Vegetables
Chlorostrobin 56SC (Azoxystrobin 6% + Chlorothalonil 50%) is a premium co-formulated fungicide distributed in Pakistan by the Tara Group. Combining a systemic strobilurin and a multi-site contact protectant, it offers outstanding control against devastating fungal diseases such as Early Blight, Late Blight, Powdery Mildew, Downy Mildew, and fruit rot in potatoes and vegetable crops.
Synergistic Modes of Action
Azoxystrobin (systemic) inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi (FRAC Group 11), stopping spore germination and fungal growth. It moves translamilarly and systemically within the leaf, protecting new foliage. Chlorothalonil (contact) is a multi-site inhibitor (FRAC Group M5) that binds to fungal proteins, preventing spore development on the leaf surface. This dual action provides excellent protection and manages resistance risk.
Application Recommendations
Apply 500ml per acre proactively in potato and tomato crops when environmental conditions favor disease (warm, humid weather). Use fine nozzles to coat all plant parts thoroughly.
