Application: Epoxiconazole is a conazole fungicide mainly for agricultural use, it inhibits the metabolism of fungi cells infesting useful plants, and thereby prevents the growth of the mycelia (fungal cells). It also limits the production of conidia (mitospores). It's widely used in various crops. Such as, cereals (mainly wheat, barley, rye and triticale), soybeans, banana, rice, coffee, turnips, and red as well as sugar beets.
