Blocking this pathway stops the pathogen respiring and generating energy through electron transfer within its cells. Fungicides acting on this process are given the code C3 and the group name Quinone outside Inhibitors (QoI).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFRAC code\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e – as a QoI fungicide, pyraclostrobin sits in FRAC code 11 for resistance management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePhytomobility and Movement Through the Plant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhytomobility is the way an active substance such as pyraclostrobin penetrates and travels within a plant once it has landed on, and been absorbed into, the underlying tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocal penetrant:\u003c\/strong\u003e after application, the active substance stays concentrated near the point where it was applied.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTranslaminar movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e the active passes through the leaf from one side to the other.
