Mefentrifluconazole fungicidal mixtures: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Phytopathogenic infection during early germination leads to significant crop loss and reduced yield. These innovations mitigate risk by engineering protective chemical barriers directly onto plant propagation material.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Mefentrifluconazole fungicidal mixtures?

Pathogen resistance and spectrum gaps

(25)evidences

Repeated exposure to single-site fungicides leads to decreased efficacy and resistant populations. Combining active ingredients with different modes of action prevents the survival of resistant strains and extends the commercial lifespan of the treatment.

Insufficient fungal pathogen control

(15)evidences

Existing fungicidal classes face declining efficacy due to evolving pathogen mutations. Developing novel chemical scaffolds like quinolines and dihydropyrrolotriazines overcomes cross-resistance and restores crop protection.

Phytopathogenic fungal resistance

(13)evidences

Fungal pathogens develop resistance to single-site inhibitors and existing treatments suffer from rapid degradation. Addressing these limitations ensures sustained crop protection and prevents chemical efficacy loss.

Pathogen resistance and spectrum gaps

(3)evidences

Fungal pathogens evolve resistance to single-mode fungicides, leading to uncontrolled outbreaks and yield degradation. Combining active ingredients overcomes efficacy gaps and prevents total crop failure.
