Amistar

An innovation in plant disease control originally inspired by a species of forest-dwelling mushroom, which produced its own natural fungicide, AMISTAR and its related brands is now the world's No1 fungicide. Through its broad-spectrum activity it delivers consistent yield and quality benefits around the world in a broad array of crop types. The active ingredient, azoxystrobin, belongs to a class of fungicides named strobilurins, which act by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, stopping their energy supply. Today, growers use AMISTAR for fungal control and yield enhancement in cereals such as wheat and barley as well as in vines, fruits, vegetables, bananas, rice, soybeans, corn, turf and ornamentals.
