KIA

Kia is a broad-spectrum fungicide that combines two powerful active ingredients: Azoxystrobin, a strobilurin fungicide, and Tebuconazole, a triazole fungicide. This combination offers both preventive and curative disease control against a wide variety of fungal pathogens affecting fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals. The systemic and translaminar action of Kia ensures rapid absorption and thorough distribution within the plant, promoting crop health and higher yields while protecting against major diseases such as rusts, powdery mildew, blights, and downy mildew.

Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal mitochondrial respiration by blocking the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) in the electron transport chain, suppressing ATP production necessary for fungal energy metabolism. This disrupts spore germination and mycelial growth, providing excellent preventive protection. Tebuconazole inhibits the enzyme 14-alpha demethylase, vital for ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi. Ergosterol is a key component of fungal cell membranes; its depletion disrupts membrane integrity, stopping fungal growth and spread. Tebuconazole provides curative action and systemic protection. The combined action of Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole offers a synergistic effect that controls multiple fungal developmental stages, ensuring broad and long-lasting disease suppression.

• Broad-spectrum disease control: Effective against rusts, powdery mildew, blights, downy mildew, leaf spots, and other fungal diseases.

• Dual mode of action: Combines preventive activity of Azoxystrobin with the curative and systemic effects of Tebuconazole for full-season protection.

• Systemic and translaminar movement: Rapid absorption and thorough distribution ensure protection of new and existing growth.

• Enhances crop health and yield: Reduces disease pressure, supporting healthier plants and improved crop quality.

• Long-lasting protection: Extended residual activity decreases the frequency of applications needed.

• Versatile use: Suitable for a wide range of crops including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals.

• Excellent rainfastness: Maintains efficacy after rainfall, providing consistent disease control under wet conditions.
