Fluazinam is a fungicide.1 It inhibits mycelial growth of 35 plant pathogenic fungi, including S. sclerotiorum, P. infestans, C. rolfsii, B. cinerea, and Fusarium (EC50s = <0.1-42.1 ppm). Fluazinam (0.56 kg/ha) reduces the incidence of Sclerotinia blight in peanut fields.2 It decreases the incidence of leaf drop in lettuce fields experimentally infected with S. minor or S. sclerotiorum when applied at a concentration of 561 g AI/ha. Formulations containing fluazinam have been used as fungicides in agriculture.
