Activity <strong>of</strong> fungicides against physiological leaf spots<br />

Strobilurins<br />

FOLIAR FUNGICIDE TREATMENTS 49<br />

Some strobilurins can reduce <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> physiological leaf spots.<br />

Research has shown that pyraclostrobin improves <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

crop <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>lerate stress. This activity is due <strong>to</strong> its direct effect on<br />

levels <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enzyme superoxide dismutase which breaks down<br />

damaging compounds in <strong>the</strong> leaf produced in response <strong>to</strong> stress,<br />

including high light intensity. Increased levels <strong>of</strong> superoxide<br />

dismutase activity have been measured following treatment with<br />

pyraclostrobin, which <strong>the</strong>n gives <strong>the</strong> plant a level <strong>of</strong> protection<br />

against stress within <strong>the</strong> plant.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r fungicides can produce similar effects, but it is unknown if this<br />

is due <strong>to</strong> a direct effect from <strong>the</strong> fungicide or in response <strong>to</strong> antioxidant<br />

components in <strong>the</strong> formulated products.<br />
