Fluopicolide is a fungicide used in agriculture to control diseases caused by oomycetes such as late blight of potato. It is classed as an and its chemical name is 2,6-dichloro-N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]methyl}benzamide.[1] The precise mode of action is not known, but it is thought to act by affecting spectrin-like proteins in the cytoskeleton of oomycetes.[1][2] This mode of action differs from other available fungicides used to control oomycetes and it can inhibit the growth of strains that are resistant to phenylamides, strobilurin, dimethomorph and .[1] It has some systemic activity as it moves through the xylem towards the tips of stems, but does not get transported to the roots.[2] It affects the motility of zoospores, the germination of cysts, the growth of the mycelium and sporulation.[3] Bayer CropScience developed the compound and it was first released as a commercial product in 2006.[4]
Uses[]
Fluopicolide has been shown to be effective at controlling Phytophthora infestans, , , Plasmopara viticola, , Peronospora tabacina, Peronospora sparsa, Pseudoperonospora cubensis and Bremia lactucae. As of 2007, it was only available commercially as a co-formulation with Fosetyl-Al for use in vines (as Profiler) and as a co-formulation with propamocarb for use on potatoes and vegetables (as Infinito). Other products were in development.[5]
Toxicity[]
The median lethal dose in rats is >5000 mg/kg meaning that fluopicolide has low acute toxicity.[2][5] Tests in other mammals indicate that it does not cause , cancer or developmental problems.[5]
