Mode of Action

Tebuconazole, one the active ingredients in Patriot®, is a systemic fungicide that once absorbed by roots and leaves moves upwards within the plant. Tebuconazole possesses curative, protective and eradicant activity when controlling turfgrass fungi. Tebuconazole is a Group 3 fungicide. It works in controlling turf pathogens by disrupting the fungi’s membrane function. It is classified as a DMI inhibitor as it stops the demethylation step in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of cell walls in many fungi.

Trifloxystrobin is the other active ingredient in Patriot Fungicide. Trifloxystrobin is characterized by its ability to strongly bond onto plant surfaces through penetration of the waxy layers. This forms a secure reservoir of fungicide to provide long-lasting, weather-protected disease control. Trifloxystrobin works by interfering with respiration in plant pathogenic fungi. It is a potent inhibitor of fungal spore germination and mycelial growth.
