MedKoo Cat#: 146302 | Name: Ferimzone

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ferimzone is a systemic fungicide used primarily in agriculture to control fungal diseases such as rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae. It belongs to the pyrimidine class of fungicides and works by inhibiting fungal respiration, specifically targeting the cytochrome bc1 complex in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This disruption impairs energy production in fungal cells, leading to growth inhibition and death. Ferimzone is valued for its effectiveness in rice cultivation and its role in resistance management when used in rotation with other fungicides.
