Use of Cyproconazole In Cereal Crops
17 July 2025
Cyproconazole is a systemic triazole fungicide widely used in cereal crops such as wheat, barley, and maize to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases. It is particularly effective against rusts, powdery mildew, leaf blotches, and Fusarium head blight. By inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes, cyproconazole prevents disease development and spread. Its strong curative and protective properties help maintain healthy foliage, enhance grain quality, and increase yield. Often applied as a foliar spray or in combination with other fungicides, cyproconazole plays a vital role in integrated disease management strategies. However, responsible use is necessary to delay the development of resistant fungal strains.
