- Systemic Action: Tebuconazole is a systemic fungicide, meaning it penetrates the seed and grows with the plant, providing protection as it develops.
- Fungicide Mechanism: It belongs to the triazole group and works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes.
- Dual Protection: It effectively controls fungal pathogens that are present on the surface of the seed and also those that have developed inside the seed.
Uses and Benefits
- Seed Treatment: The primary use is for seed treatment, where it's mixed with seeds before planting to protect them from fungal attacks.
- Crop Protection: It is widely used for cereals such as wheat, rice, and barley.
- Healthy Germination: It promotes healthy seed germination and provides a protective effect against fungal infections during the critical early growth stages.
- Broad-Spectrum Control: It offers broad-spectrum control against a variety of seed-borne fungal diseases.
- Improved Yields: By ensuring healthy growth and protecting against diseases from the start, it can contribute to improved crop yields.
