Meptyldinocap belongs to the dinitrophenyl crotonate group and acts by disrupting oxidative phosphorylation in fungal cells. This inhibits fungal energy production, leading to rapid collapse of mycelial growth. Because of its contact activity, thorough spray coverage is critical for maximum effectiveness.
