Fluopyram (tested under the code USF 2015) is a novel broad-spectrum fungicide belonging to the new chemical class, pyridylethylamides, discovered and developed worldwide by Bayer CropScience. The mode of action for this Group 7 fungicide is inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase at protein complex II in the mitochondrial respiration chain. Disease control results have been excellent, especially for ascomycete pathogens of horticultural crops. A description of the product chemistry, mode of action, biological profile, bioavailability, global MRLs, and U.S. registration timeline will be presented.
