Picoxystrobin’s mechanism of action

Picoxystrobin is a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor, that is, it inhibits mitochondrial respiration by electron transfer between cytochrome b and C1. It is effective against strains resistant to C-14 demethylase inhibitors, benzamides, dicarboxamides, and benzimidazoles.

Picoxystrobin has systemic and fumigant activity. Once absorbed by the leaves, it moves in the xylem and flows in the transport system with the plant fluid. It flows in the gas phase on the surface of the leaves and can be directly absorbed by the leaves in the gas phase and enter the xylem. Due to its systemic and fumigant activity, the active ingredients can be effectively redistributed and fully delivered after application, and it has better therapeutic activity than azoxystrobin or trifloxystrobin.

Picoxystrobin is a broad-spectrum fungicide, mainly used for the prevention and control of related diseases on wheat and barley, mainly for the prevention and control of foliar diseases of wheat such as leaf blight, leaf rust, glumemane blight, brown spot, powdery mildew, etc. Compared with the existing Strobilurin fungicides, it has a stronger therapeutic effect on wheat leaf blight, net spot and moire.
