How Iprodione Protects Crops from Fungal Diseases Effectively

Introduction
Iprodione is a contact and locally systemic dicarboximide fungicide used to manage a variety of fungal pathogens, especially Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia spp. It is applied in the form of foliar sprays, seed treatments, or soil drenches across many crops including grapes, lettuce, ornamentals, and turfgrass.

Composition and Mode of Action
Iprodione inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth by disrupting DNA and protein synthesis in fungi. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it effective against several diseases such as gray mold, leaf spot, and damping-off.
