Trifloxystrobin is a widely used fungicide that has EU approval for use. Trifloxystrobin works by interfering with respiration in plant pathogenic fungi. As a result of this mode of action, trifloxystrobin is a potent inhibitor of fungal spore germination and mycelial growth. Trifloxystrobin is a broad-spectrum foliar fungicide that has high levels of activity against many fungal pathogens within the Ascomycete, Deuteromycete, Basidiomycete, and Oomycete classes. Pests controlled by this active ingredient include grape and cucurbit powdery mildew, apple scab and powdery mildew, peanut leafspot, and brown patch of turfgrasses. In rats, trifloxystrobin absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, rapidly metabolized and quickly and completely eliminated from the body.
