05How does Capxa – Captan 70% + Hexaconazole 5% WP work?+
This combination product acts through two complementary mechanisms. Captan is a phthalimide fungicide that acts as a multi-site protectant, reacting non-specifically with thiol groups in fungal cells to prevent spore germination (FRAC Group M4). Hexaconazole is a triazole (DMI) fungicide that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis by blocking the 14α-demethylase enzyme, disrupting fungal cell membrane formation (FRAC Group 3). Together, they provide combined protectant and systemic disease control.
