Mode of Action

Tebuconazole belongs to the triazole group of fungicides and acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This disrupts fungal growth and reproduction, providing long-term protection from fungal infection. Its systemic nature allows the fungicide to move through plant tissues, safeguarding new growth as well.
