More Details

Prop Plus is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Syngenta. It contains two active ingredients:

  • Propiconazole 12.5% w/w: A systemic triazole fungicide with preventative and curative action.1

  • Propineb 37.5% w/w: A contact multi-site fungicide that provides a protective barrier against fungal pathogens.

This combination gives Prop Plus several key features and benefits:

  • Dual mode of action: The two active ingredients offer both contact and systemic activity, providing comprehensive disease control and reducing the risk of resistance development.

  • Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops.

  • Preventative and curative action: Can be used both to prevent infections and to cure existing diseases at early stages.

  • Improved yield and quality: By protecting crops from fungal diseases, Prop Plus helps improve yield and enhance the quality of produce.

  • Resistance management: The multi-site action of Propineb helps in managing resistance development in fungal pathogens.2

Mode of Action:

  • Propiconazole: Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi. Ergosterol is a vital component of fungal cell membranes.3 By disrupting its production, Propiconazole affects the growth and development of the fungus, ultimately controlling the disease.

  • Propineb: A multi-site contact fungicide that disrupts several enzymatic processes within fungal cells, leading to their death. It also inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth.4

  • Early blight
