9) Application: Fluazinam is a preventative pyridine fungicide for the control of blight caused by Phytophthora infestansin potatoes. It has a multi-site mode of action and has strong persistence of effect against blight. The fungicide can suppress secondary infection in the field through inhibition of sporulation. There is no resistance known in blight populations and there is also no cross-resistance to other commercially available fungicides. For blight management, a spray programme with seven-day intervals between sprays is typically recommended .
