Azoxystrobin D4

Azoxystrobin D4 is a fungicide that is used to protect crops from a variety of fungal diseases. It is a member of the strobilurin class of fungicides, which work by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi. This disrupts the energy production of the fungal cells, leading to their death. Azoxystrobin D4 is effective against a range of fungal pathogens, including powdery mildew, rusts, and leaf spots. Azoxystrobin D4 is applied to crops as a spray or dust, and is usually mixed with water or another carrier substance. It can be used on a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamental plants. The fungicide is absorbed by the plant and translocated to the parts that are most vulnerable to fungal attack. The chemical formula of Azoxystrobin D4 is C22H17N3O5. It is a stable, white solid that is soluble in water and polar solvents. The D4 designation refers to the fact that the compound contains four deuterium atoms, which are isotopes of hydrogen. This labeling is often used in research and analytical applications, as it allows for the tracking of the compound through various processes. Azoxystrobin D4 has a low toxicity to mammals and other non-target organisms, and is considered safe for use in agriculture when used according to label instructions. However, as with all pesticides, it is important to follow proper safety precautions when handling and applying the product.
