Chlorothalonil belongs to chloronitrile group, Broad spectrum contact fungicide with protective action

Target Pests/Diseases

Early & Late Blight, Tikka Leaf Spot, Rust

Mode of Action

Depletion of thiols (particularly glutathione) from germinating fungal cells, leading to disruption of glycolysis and energy production, fungistasis

Multi-site inhibitor affecting various enzymes and other metabolic processes in fungi

Exerts its effect on fungi by tying up free glutathione and prevents activation (reduction) of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and perhaps similar other enzymes

Inhibits spore germination and is toxic to fungal cell
