Prochloraz CAS (67747-09-5), offered by Red Sun, is a high-performance imidazole fungicide widely used in modern crop protection. It works as an ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor, disrupting fungal cell membrane formation and delivering strong control against major plant diseases caused by ascomycetes and deuteromycetes. This broad-spectrum fungicide provides reliable disease management across a wide range of crops.
Key advantages of Prochloraz include:
Efficient translocation within plant tissues, ensuring thorough and uniform protection despite the absence of full systemic activity.
Low resistance risk compared with other imidazole fungicides such as thiabendazole and imazalil, making it a sustainable choice for long-term disease control.
Excellent compatibility with fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides, offering flexible tank-mix options to expand protection strategies in integrated pest management (IPM).
With its proven effectiveness and adaptability, Prochloraz is a trusted solution in agriculture fungicides for safeguarding crop yield and quality.

Red Sun’s Prochloraz is designed for effective crop protection. Its performance is based on a clear biological mechanism and proven activity against fungal pathogens. The following points outline its mode of action and key performance data.
Inhibition of Sterol Biosynthesis
Prochloraz blocks critical steps in fungal sterol synthesis. Sterols are required for cell membrane integrity and function. Disruption leads to abnormal membrane structure, increased permeability, and leakage of essential components such as electrolytes and amino acids. The result is cell death and control of fungal growth.
Systemic Absorption and Translocation
The compound is absorbed by plant tissues and moves internally. It is transported to infected areas where pathogens attack. This allows protection of both treated and untreated plant parts. It also prevents further spread of disease by acting at early infection sites.
Direct Damage to Cell Membranes
Prochloraz also targets fungal membranes directly. It weakens the structure, interferes with vital processes, and blocks normal activity. Membrane failure results in fungal death. This dual mechanism strengthens its performance in controlling a wide spectrum of diseases.
Broad Crop Application
Effective against pathogens from ascomycetes and deuteromycetes. Used widely in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Helps maintain yield by controlling leaf, stem, and fruit diseases.
Protective and Curative Action
Provides both preventive and early curative effects. Applied before infection, it protects healthy tissues. Applied after initial infection, it stops further pathogen development.
Compatibility in Crop Programs
Works in integrated pest management strategies. Can be combined with fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. Low resistance risk compared with other imidazole fungicides. Useful for long-term disease management.
Red Sun offers Prochloraz as a reliable crop protection solution. Its features highlight its effectiveness, safety, and adaptability in modern agriculture.
Prochloraz controls fungal diseases caused by ascomycetes and deuteromycetes. It is used across cereals, fruits, and vegetables. The wide application makes it suitable for different crop protection programs.
Its acute toxicity is similar to table salt. It is harmful to fish, so water contamination must be avoided. Proper handling ensures safety for users and the environment.
After application, the compound moves quickly through plant tissues. It reaches leaves, stems, and fruits, ensuring uniform protection. This systemic movement helps protect both infected and healthy parts of the plant.
Compared with other imidazole fungicides, Prochloraz has a lower resistance potential. This supports sustainable use in repeated applications. It also helps maintain long-term control of fungal pathogens.
The production process is stable and generates limited waste. This aligns with green agriculture practices. It supports reduced environmental impact while maintaining product quality.
Red Sun’s Prochloraz is applied across multiple crops and growing systems. It supports disease prevention and control through flexible methods of use.
Prochloraz protects cereals and other field crops from fungal diseases. It is effective against powdery mildew, leaf spot, and ear diseases. Application can be done through seed treatment or foliar spraying.
It is used on fruit trees and vegetables both before and after harvest. Spraying before harvest prevents infection. Post-harvest dipping reduces storage diseases and extends shelf life.
The fungicide is suitable for mushrooms, turf, and ornamental plants. It helps manage a wide range of fungal pathogens. This supports crop quality and maintains visual appearance of non-food plants.
Prochloraz can be mixed with fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. This allows integrated crop protection. It offers farmers more options in managing disease and pest pressure.
Red Sun provides full guidance on the safe use of Prochloraz. The following points summarize hazard classification, protective measures, storage, and compliance requirements.
Prochloraz carries GHS07 and GHS09 symbols. Signal word is “Warning.” Hazard statements are H302 and H410. Precautionary statements include P273 and P501. European codes note R22 and R50/53.
Acute oral LD₅₀ is classified as harmful if swallowed. LC₅₀ values show risk to aquatic organisms. Occupational exposure limits (OEL) apply where available.
Recommended PPE includes nitrile gloves, protective eyewear, and a P2 or N95 dust mask. A face shield should be used in high exposure operations.
Store at -20 °C in sealed containers, protected from light. Classified under UN3077, Packaging Group II, Hazard Class 6.1. Customs code: 2933290012.
Neutralize spills with sodium bisulfite. Absorb residues with inert material. Avoid water contamination. Dispose according to hazardous waste regulations under 40 CFR Part 261.
Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or CO₂ as extinguishing media. Avoid direct water jets. Firefighters should wear full protective equipment.
Dispose of material and packaging through licensed waste handlers. Follow regulatory codes S60 and S61. Ensure compliance with environmental and safety legislation.
