Description
Boscalid
Boscalid is a broad-spectrum carboxamide fungicide that inhibits fungal respiration by binding to the ubiquinone site of mitochondrial complex II/succinate dehydrogenase.1 It suppresses mycelial growth of S. minor by 87 to 100% and of S. sclerotiorum by 77 to 100% when used at a concentration of 1 µg/ml.2 In field studies, boscalid applied at 5.6 µg/cm2 provides 55.5 and 30.4% disease control for lettuce drop caused by S. minor and S. sclerotiorum, respectively. It decreases cell viability of mouse primary cortical neurons following long-term exposure but is not cytotoxic (LC50 = >100 µM for acute and continuous exposure). Formulations containing boscalid have been used in agriculture to prevent fungal growth on crops.
