Key Ingredients
-
Azoxystrobin: Known for its preventive properties, Azoxystrobin inhibits spore germination, effectively stopping fungal diseases before they can establish themselves.

Mode Of Action
Amistar Top operates through a dual-action mechanism that ensures comprehensive disease control:
-
Preventive Action: Azoxystrobin creates a protective barrier, preventing spores from germinating and spreading.
-
Systemic Action: Difenoconazole is taken up by the plant and acts internally to combat established infections, especially during key development stages of the pathogen.
