Active Ingredient Azoxystrobin - Number 1 Fungicide Helps Plants Grow Healthy

What are the effects of the active ingredient Azoxystrobin?

In the modern era, the global demand for food is increasing due to population growth. Therefore, protecting and improving crop productivity has become crucial. One effective tool to achieve this goal is the use of Azoxystrobin – an advanced fungicide with efficient antifungal properties. This article provides detailed information about the characteristics, effects, benefits, and safe usage guidelines of this substance in agriculture, helping farmers understand how to apply Azoxystrobin to maximize crop yield and quality.

1. Introduction to Azoxystrobin

Azoxystrobin is a chemical compound from the Strobilurin group widely used in agriculture as a fungicide. Its chemical formula is C22H17N3O5, and its primary physical characteristics include being a white crystalline powder, poorly soluble in water but easily soluble in organic solvents.

Classified as a systemic fungicide, Azoxystrobin works by inhibiting the cytochrome bc1 enzyme, thereby blocking the cellular respiration of fungi. This unique mechanism allows Azoxystrobin to effectively control and prevent the development of harmful fungal diseases in crops.

2. Effects of Azoxystrobin in Agriculture

Azoxystrobin is a breakthrough fungicide that offers several critical benefits in protecting crops from common fungal diseases such as leaf blast, leaf spot, rust, and sheath blight. Its distinctive mode of action, which inhibits fungal respiration, prevents their growth and spread.

Additionally, Azoxystrobin enhances photosynthesis and strengthens plant resistance, promoting the healthy growth and development of various crops, including cereals, industrial plants, fruit trees, vegetables, coffee, and pepper. This results in optimized crop yields and improved agricultural product quality.

Due to its broad-spectrum antifungal properties, Azoxystrobin is recommended for diverse crops such as rice, maize, peanuts, coffee, fruits, and vegetables. The table below lists some common crops in Vietnamese agriculture that benefit from Azoxystrobin application to combat fungal diseases.

By effectively controlling these harmful diseases, agricultural yields can increase by 15–25% compared to crops not treated with Azoxystrobin. Simultaneously, product quality improves significantly as healthy plants yield better weight, size, and color.

Azoxystrobin’s compatibility with many crops, wide antifungal spectrum, and sustainable efficacy make it a trusted choice for farmers. Its safety for users and the environment, when used correctly, further ensures its reliability.

With superior benefits in disease control, yield protection, and product quality enhancement, Azoxystrobin is a reliable and effective option for crop care and protection.

3. Guidelines for Safe Use of Azoxystrobin

To maximize Azoxystrobin's efficiency and ensure safety for humans and the environment, strict adherence to dosage, application techniques, and timing is essential:

• Recommended Dosage:

  • Use 150–250g of Azoxystrobin per hectare.
  • Specific dosage depends on crop type, planting density, disease severity, and environmental conditions.

• Application Techniques and Timing:

  • Spray every 7–10 days during plant growth and flowering.
  • Apply in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are below 25°C to prevent decomposition.
  • Use fine mist sprayers for even coverage.

• Preventive Measures:

  • Wear protective gear, including clothing, gloves, and masks, during application.
  • Wash thoroughly after application and change clothing immediately.
  • Avoid smoking, eating, or allowing children near spraying areas.
  • Observe the re-entry interval of at least 12 hours after spraying.

4. Environmental and Health Impacts

Despite Azoxystrobin's effectiveness in controlling fungal diseases, improper use can have negative impacts on the environment and human health.

• Environmental Impact:

  • Azoxystrobin can pollute water sources if sprayed near rivers, lakes, or ponds. It may also affect biodiversity by impacting non-mammalian insects and aquatic organisms.

• Health Impact:

  • Direct contact or ingestion of Azoxystrobin can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Residues in agricultural products may pose risks to the kidneys, liver, and nervous system.

Adhering to proper usage guidelines and observing re-entry intervals is essential to minimize these risks.

5. Precautions When Using Azoxystrobin

To ensure safe and effective use of Azoxystrobin, farmers should keep the following points in mind:

• Use Azoxystrobin only for approved and published purposes.
• Avoid mixing it with other pesticides unless recommended.
• Follow dosage and application instructions strictly.
• Read and follow preventive measures on the product label.
• Avoid using Azoxystrobin near water sources to prevent pollution.
• Observe pre-harvest intervals after spraying.
• Purchase Azoxystrobin from reputable suppliers.
• Store Azoxystrobin safely, away from children and pets.
