Galileo
Disease Control
Fungicide
GALILEO is Systemic fungicide for control of Sheath blight of Paddy and yellow rust of Wheat.
Benefits and Features
Key Benefit
Fungicide with unique combination of chemistries and exhibit surface diffusion and Xylem mobility for disease control
Features
- Picoxystrobin has the ability to move from the vapour phase into the plant and then to be transported systemically within the xylem
- It also demonstrates xylem mobility.
- This movement is slow and even and does not lead to rapid accumulation at the tip.
- None of the current competitor strobilurins demonstrate surface diffusion and Xylem mobility.
- It has unique redistribution properties viz Systemic and Translaminar movement, diffusion in the wax layer, redistribution by air, Axial redistribution.

Mode of Action
Picoxystrobin comes under FRAC Group 11. It is a Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI). QoIs are chemical compounds which act at the Quinone outer binding site of the cytochrome bc1 complex. Binds to the protein ubiquinol oxidase in respiratory Complex III
Stops growth of plant pathogenic fungi by blocking cell respiration (Inhibits electron transfer in mitochondria)
