Description:
Boscalid is a broad-spectrum fungicide widely used in agriculture to protect crops from fungal diseases. Its bioactivity stems from its ability to inhibit fungal respiration by targeting succinate dehydrogenase (Complex II) in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. By binding to this enzyme, Boscalid blocks electron transfer, disrupting ATP synthesis and energy production in fungal cells, ultimately leading to their death. This mechanism makes Boscalid highly effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens, including Botrytis, Alternaria, Sclerotinia, and powdery mildew species.
