Arigato Fungicide Technical Name
Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Dual systemic, translaminar action
Mode of Action: Arigato combines Azoxystrobin and Difenoconazole for complementary disease control. Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal spore germination during the early stage of disease development, helping protect the crop from fungal invasion. The product is absorbed by the plant and acts on fungal pathogens during penetration and haustoria formation. Its translaminar and xylem mobility helps reduce the spread and further development of fungal infection within the treated plant.
Time of Application: Use Arigato for preventive, curative and systemic disease management according to the crop and disease recommendations.

• Dual systemic action: The combination of Azoxystrobin and Difenoconazole provides internal disease management through two complementary fungicidal chemistries.
• Protective and curative activity: It helps prevent fungal invasion and acts during the development of established infection.
• Rapid movement within the plant: The product information states that Arigato has rapid uptake, translaminar movement and xylem mobility within treated plant parts.
• Long lasting disease control: Its preventive, curative and systemic activity provides longer duration control, as stated in the source information.
• Wide crop use: Arigato is recommended for fruit crops, vegetables and field crops against the diseases listed on the product label.
