Together, these ingredients work synergistically to provide comprehensive protection against a variety of fungal diseases.
How Orthodox Fungicide Works?
Orthodox Fungicide works through a dual mechanism of action:
Pyraclostrobin interferes with fungal respiration, halting energy production and preventing further fungal growth. It also acts as a protectant by forming a protective barrier on the plant surface.
Dimethomorph is systemic, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and moves through its tissues, offering both preventative and curative control. It prevents fungal growth by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in fungal cells.
