Mode of Action:
Benfil is absorbed by the plant and translocated upwards through the xylem.4 It inhibits the development of germ tubes, the formation of appressoria (structures used by fungi to penetrate plant cells), and the growth of mycelia (the vegetative part of a fungus).5 This prevents the fungus from infecting the plant and spreading disease.6
