ANTRACOL FUNGICIDE

Description

BAYER ANTRACOL FUNGICIDE

Antracol contains Propineb, a contact fungicide with broad spectrum activity against various diseases of rice, chilli, grapes, potato and other vegetables and fruits.

Propineb is a polymeric zinc-containing dithiocarbamate. Due to the release of zinc, the application of Antracol results in greening effect on the crop and subsequent improvement in quality of produce.

Propineb interferes at different locations in the metabolism of the fungi; on several points of the respiration chain,

in the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins, in the cell membranes.

This multi-site mode of action of Propineb prevents development of resistance in the fungi.
