Fenpicoxamid is a picolinamide fungicide used to control fungal pathogens in cereal crops, particularly Zymoseptoria tritici in wheat. [1] [2] It is derived from a naturally occurring substance called UK-2A produced by a Streptomyces bacteria and is structurally related to the piscicide antimycin A. When absorbed by fungi or plants it is converted to UK-2A. [3] It was authorised for use in the United Kingdom in 2021 and by 2022 was used on 670,000 hectares. [4] [5]
