Fluopyram is a synthetic fungicide and nematicide used in agriculture. [2] [3] It is used to control fungal diseases such as gray mold ( Botrytis cinerea ), powdery mildew, apple scab, Alternaria , Sclerotinia , and Monilinia . It is an inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHI fungicide). [4]

Regulation

Developed and produced by Bayer, it was approved in 2012 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [4] and in 2013 it was approved in the EU for use as an active ingredient in pesticides. [5]

Pesticide products containing fluopyram have been banned in Denmark because the chemical can degrade into trifluoroacetic acid, which can then contaminate groundwater and not decompose. [6]
