Activity

Fungicide
Imibenconazole is a preventative and curative fungicide with high efficacy against scab in apple, pear and citrus and anthracnose in grapes. It is locally systemic with a high level of residual activity and rainfastness. The fungicide inhibits germ tube and mycelium growth. It can also inhibit spore germination of Elsinoe ampelina. Hokko recommends that fruit is sprayed at 14-day intervals and ornamentals at weekly intervals. Imibenconazole can be used either as a seed or foliar treatment on wheat. The product is not phytotoxic to target crops.

In field trials on apples, imibenconazole gave greater control of leaf and fruit infections than bitertanol.
