***Postharvest use on fruit only.
Mode of action: FRAC1 Code 3; single-site inhibitors; inhibit demethylation and other processes in sterol biosynthesis; most are absorbed quickly and move up but not down in the plant; all have little effect on spore germination, but interfere with other early developmental processes; all inhibit mycelial growth and may stop lesions from sporulating; many have "kick-back" activity against brown rot, rust, perhaps scab, and apple and pear scab. Systemic action was determined in leaves of annual plants. The requisite tests using radioactive labeled compounds on flowers, fruit, and leaves of tree crops have not been conducted.
Resistance risk: high
Growth effects: inhibits mycelial growth

MULTIPLE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS IN PRE-MIXTURES
‡ Some of the active ingredients or products listed in this table may not be registered as pesticides or may have had their registration withdrawn. Check with your state pesticide regulatory agency to verify that applications are made in accordance with state and federal laws and regulations.
1 Code numbers are assigned by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) according to different modes of actions (for more information, see http://www.frac.info/). Fungicides with a different Code number are suitable to alternate in a resistance management program. In California, make no more than one application of fungicides with mode-of-action Code numbers 1, 4, 9, 11, or 17 before rotating to a fungicide with a different mode-of-action Code number; for fungicides with other Code numbers, make no more than two consecutive applications before rotating to a fungicide with a different mode-of-action Code number.

Mode of action: FRAC1 Codes 3 and 7; DMI single-site inhibitors (tebuconazole) target demethylation and other processes in sterol biosynthesis; whereas SDHI fungicides inhibit succinate dehydrogenase (fluopyram). Most DMI fungicides most are absorbed quickly and move up but not down in the plant; all have little effect on spore germination, but interfere with other early developmental processes; all inhibit mycelial growth and may stop lesions from sporulating; many have post-infection or "kick-back" activity against brown rot, rust, perhaps scab, and apple and pear scab.
Resistance risk: medium to high; rating is a result of only partial overlap in the spectrum of activity of the two active ingredients. To reduce the risk of resistance development, start treatments with a fungicide with a multi-site mode of action; rotate or mix fungicides with different mode-of-action FRAC numbers for subsequent applications, use labeled rates (preferably the upper range), and limit the total number of applications per season.
Growth effects: unknown for SDHI; DMI inhibits only mycelial growth
Sporulation: unknown for SDHI; DMI inhibits sporulation.
