Pyraclostrobin 13C6

[13C6]-Pyraclostrobin is a synthetic fungicide that is used to control fungal diseases in crops such as grapes, apples, and vegetables. It is a member of the strobilurin family of fungicides and works by inhibiting the respiration of fungi, which ultimately leads to their death. [13C6]-Pyraclostrobin is effective against a wide range of fungal diseases, including powdery mildew, leaf spot, and rust. Chemically, [13C6]-Pyraclostrobin is a complex molecule containing six carbon atoms that have been labeled with the stable isotope 13C. This labeling allows researchers to track the movement and fate of the fungicide in the environment and in biological systems. The fungicide has a molecular weight of 451.5 g/mol and a melting point of 122-124°C. [13C6]-Pyraclostrobin is typically applied as a spray or dust to the foliage of crops, where it is absorbed and translocated throughout the plant. The fungicide has a relatively short half-life in the environment, ranging from a few days to a few weeks, depending on factors such as temperature and soil type. It is important to use [13C6]-Pyraclostrobin according to label instructions and to follow proper safety precautions when handling and applying the fungicide.
