Zoxamide is a fungicide widely used in agriculture to control diseases caused by oomycetes, such as downy mildew and late blight, in crops like grapes, potatoes, and tomatoes. It works by disrupting the microtubule formation in fungal cells, inhibiting cell division and preventing the spread of the pathogen. Zoxamide is favored for its specific mode of action and low risk of resistance development. Its selective toxicity ensures minimal impact on non-target organisms, making it an effective and environmentally safer option for integrated pest management strategies.
