difenoconazole

CHEBI:81760 ·resolve ·ANTIFUNGAL ·EXACT SEEDED

A member of the class of dioxolanes that is 1,3-dioxolane substituted at position 2 by 2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenyl and 1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl groups. A broad spectrum fungicide with novel broad-range activity used as a spray or seed treatment. It is moderately toxic to humans, mammals, birds and most aquatic organisms. — ChEBI

Mechanism summary

Mode of action
ERGOSTEROL_PATHWAY_INHIBITION host shared target — Assigned from ChEBI role CHEBI:75282 (ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor), CHEBI:77884 (EC 1.14.13.70 (sterol 14α-demethylase) inhibitor). ChEBI asserts the role on the compound. The target it names is one the host has too, so the mechanism is true but is not evidence of selectivity — see mode_of_action_target_scope. Not a curator's mechanistic review.

Resistance mechanisms

7 source-backed resistance determinants or associations, with ARO grounding where reported. Grouped by reported mechanism type.
