Selectively inhibits RNA polymerase I in oomycetes

Disrupts ribosomal RNA synthesis and protein production
Systemic Movement

Translocates through plant vascular system

Provides comprehensive plant protection
Oomycete Specificity

Highly specific for Phytophthora and Pythium species

Targeted control of water mold diseases
Preventive Action

Effective for disease prevention and early treatment

Stops infection before symptom development
