Content
Composition, purpose and form of release of the drug Akanto Plus
The fungicide is released in canisters in the form of a suspension. The preparation contains:
- Cyproconazole. This component has a protective, curative and eradication effect. The growth of pathogens stops with it.
- Picoxystrobin. The substance is considered a potent pathogen inhibitor. With its help, the respiration of fungal cells stops, which blocks the growth and development of fungal mycelium.
The fungicide stimulates the development of plant biomass. It also provides resistance to stress, assimilation of carbon dioxide and optimization of nitrogen metabolism. The preparation slows down the formation of ethylene, which protects against plant aging.
Mode of action of the fungicide
The fungicide contains 2 active components - cyproconazole and picoxystrobin. It is this composition that provides plant protection. With the help of cyproconazole, the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is recognized as the main structural component of the fungal membrane, is blocked, therefore the pathogen dies.
Picoxystrobin performs energy metabolism in cells. Because of its violation, the transfer of electrons from cytochrome to cytochrome is blocked, due to which the pathogen dies.
