Hexaconazole is a kind of broad-spectrum systemic trazole fungicide. It can be used for the treatment of many kind of fungi diseases caused by ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, and imperfect fungi. It is especially suitable for the treatment of fungi diseases such as powdery mildew, rust, scab, brown blotch and anthracnose caused by ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. In China, India and some other Asian countries, it is mainly used for the control of rice sheath blight. It is applicable to apples, grapes, bananas, vegetables, peanuts, and cereal crops as well as ornament plants. Its mechanism of action is through inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol (a key component of the fungi membrane) of fungi.
