Frequently asked questions
What is Preemptor EQ Fungicide used for?
Preemptor EQ Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide used to control a variety of fungal diseases in crops. It is effective against Southern Rust, Gray Leaf Spot, Frogeye Leaf Spot, Powdery Mildew, Tar Spot, and other fungal pathogens. Its active ingredients provide both preventative and curative action.
What crops can Preemptor EQ Fungicide be applied to?
Preemptor EQ Fungicide is labeled for use on Soybeans, Corn, and Wheat. Always consult the product label for a complete list of approved crops and specific application guidelines.
How does Preemptor EQ Fungicide work?
Preemptor EQ Fungicide combines two active ingredients: Azoxystrobin, which disrupts energy production in fungal cells by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration, and Flutriafol, which inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis, a critical component of fungal cell membranes. This dual mode of action provides preventative protection against spore germination and curative action by controlling early infections.
When is the best time to apply Preemptor EQ Fungicide?
For optimal results, apply Preemptor EQ Fungicide preventatively, before disease symptoms appear or at the earliest sign of disease. Application timing varies by crop and disease pressure, often during early vegetative stages or before conditions favorable to fungal growth (high humidity or frequent rainfall). Reapplication intervals may range from 14–28 days, as directed by the label instructions.
Is Preemptor EQ Fungicide systemic or contact-based?
Preemptor EQ Fungicide is a systemic fungicide. Its active ingredients are absorbed by the plant and translocated to protect throughout the plant tissues. Flutriafol is highly systemic, moving through the xylem to protect new growth, while Azoxystrobin provides translaminar activity and broad-spectrum control. This systemic action ensures preventative and curative effects, making it effective against diseases on the surface and within plant tissues.
How does Preemptor EQ Fungicide contribute to plant health?
In addition to disease control, Preemptor EQ Fungicide improves stress tolerance, enhances photosynthesis, and increases growth efficiency. Azoxystrobin reduces ethylene production, increases carbon assimilation, and improves water and nutrient uptake efficiency. These plant health benefits can lead to higher yields and better crop resilience to environmental stresses like drought, heat, or nutrient deficiency.
Can Preemptor EQ Fungicide be applied aerially or with ground sprayers?
Yes, Preemptor EQ Fungicide can be applied using ground sprayers, aerial equipment, or other approved methods, depending on the crop and label instructions. Ensure proper calibration and carrier volume for uniform coverage, as this impacts efficacy.
