Amistar Fungicide
Amistar Fungicide is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide containing Azoxystrobin 23% SC, developed by Syngenta. It belongs to the strobilurin group of fungicides (QoI inhibitors) and provides preventive, curative, and anti-sporulant action against a wide range of fungal diseases.
With its translaminar and systemic movement, Amistar protects crops from inside the plant tissues while also forming a protective shield on the leaf surface. It is widely trusted in crops like grapes, rice, chilli, tomato, and vegetables for superior disease management and improved crop health.

Mode of Action
Azoxystrobin works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi. It blocks electron transfer at the Qo site in Complex III, stopping energy production (ATP synthesis) in fungal cells. As a result, fungal growth and spore germination are halted quickly.
