Tebuconazole TC (Technical Concentrate)

Description

1. Product Overview

Tebuconazole TC is a high-purity, systemic triazole fungicide technical concentrate used as the foundational active ingredient in the production of broad-spectrum crop protection formulations. Its primary industrial application is the synthesis of emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, and water-dispersible granules for controlling fungal pathogens in cereals, fruits, vegetables, and oilseeds. Strategically critical to global agricultural supply chains, Tebuconazole TC delivers superior eradicative and preventive activity against rusts, mildews, and blights—directly enabling yield security and resistance management in high-value row crops.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical Composition: Tebuconazole (CAS: 107534-96-3); empirical formula C₁₆H₂₂ClN₃O

• Shelf Life: 36 months when stored in original unopened packaging under dry, ambient conditions (0–30°C)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Cereals (wheat, barley, oats): Controls Septoria tritici leaf blotch, Fusarium head blight, and yellow rust. Outperforms older triazoles due to superior translaminar movement and longer protective windows, reducing reapplication frequency by 15–20%.

• Fruit & Vine Crops (grapes, apples, bananas): Used against powdery mildew and black rot. Delivers consistent performance under variable temperature regimes where strobilurins show reduced efficacy.

• Oilseeds & Legumes (soybeans, peanuts, canola): Effective against Asian soybean rust and cercospora leaf spot. Cost advantage over SDHI-based products at comparable disease pressure, enabling lower formulation cost per hectare.

• Seed Treatment: Formulated as a flowable concentrate for Fusarium and Rhizoctonia control in cereals. Provides systemic protection through early growth stages with minimal phytotoxicity risk.

4. Competitive Advantages
