Basf Priaxor 225 EC Fungicide

Product Overview

Priaxor 225 EC is a highly effective and consistent fungicide developed by BASF. It is designed to control a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops, including coffee. The fungicide is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), which makes it easy to handle and apply. Priaxor® Dual mode of action is a powerful tool for broad spectrum disease control and integrated resistance management.

Active Ingredients and Mode of Action

Active Ingredients: Priaxor 225 EC contains two active ingredients: Xemium® (fluxapyroxad) at 75 g/L and Pyraclostrobin at 150 g/L2.

Mode of Action: The dual mode of action of Priaxor 225 EC provides broad-spectrum disease control and integrated resistance management. Xemium® (fluxapyroxad) is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) that disrupts fungal growth by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration. Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth2.

Application and Usage

Target Diseases: Priaxor 225 EC is effective against a range of fungal diseases, including Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) and other foliar diseases2.

Application Rates: The recommended application rate is 0.8 L/ha or 16 mL per 20 L of water2. It is important to follow the specific recommendations for each crop to achieve optimal results.

Application Timing: Apply Priaxor 225 EC preventatively before disease establishment and continue during the wet season. The fungicide should be applied at an interval of 28 days, with a maximum of four sprays per year2.
