The Uses of Trifloxystrobin

Trifloxystrobin is a broad-spectrum foliar fungicide used in plant pritection. Trifloxystrobin functions by inhibiting fungal spore germination.

The Uses of Trifloxystrobin

Agricultural fungicide.

What are the applications of Application

Trifloxystrobin is a strobilurin class fungicide

Definition

ChEBI: Trifloxystrobin is the methyl ester of (2E)-(methoxyimino)[2-({[(E)-{1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethylidene}amino]oxy}methyl)phenyl]acetic acid. A foliar applied fungicide for cereals which is particularly active against Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes and Oomycetes It has a role as a mitochondrial cytochrome-bc1 complex inhibitor and an antifungal agrochemical. It is an oxime O-ether, an organofluorine compound, a methyl ester and a methoxyiminoacetate strobilurin antifungal agent.

Metabolism

Trifloxystrobin is described as “mesostemic” due to its ability to redistribute to untreated plant parts through vapor action, limited but effective cuticular penetration, and translaminarmovement by diffusion (30). It is rainfast by virtue of its high affinity for the waxy cuticular layer.

Toxicity evaluation

Trifloxystrobin has an acute oral LD₅₀ > 5,000 and an acute dermal LD₅₀ > 2,000 mg/kg in rats. It is not a skin or eye irritant, is nonmutagenic and nonteratogenic. It shows rapid absorption and elimination in the rat. It has no toxicity to birds in acute studies (LD₅₀ > 2,000 mg/kg) but has an LC50 of 0.015 mg/L in rainbow trout. The bee LD₅₀ = 200 μg/bee. Environmental fate studies show it to be hydrolytically stable at pH 5, with a DT₅₀ of 11.4 weeks at pH 7. It has a photolytic DT₅₀ of 31.5 h at pH 7 (25 ?C) in water, a soil adsorption coefficient (Koc) of 1,642-3,745 ml/g, and a soil DT₅₀ of 5.4 days under field conditions.
