Delan: Ingredients and Mode of Action

Delan is a fungicide used to control fungal diseases on fruit, vegetables, and grapevines. It is a combination fungicide that contains two active ingredients: Dithianon and Potassium Phosphonates.

Dithianon

Dithianon is an active ingredient from the group of thiocarbamates. It works preventively against fungal diseases by inhibiting the germination of fungal spores. Dithianon is a very broad-spectrum fungicide that is effective against a variety of fungal diseases, including scab, powdery mildew, rust, and leaf spot diseases.

Potassium Phosphonates

Potassium phosphonates are a group of active ingredients that are derived from the group of phosphate esters. They work both preventively and curatively against fungal diseases. Potassium phosphonates inhibit cell division in fungi and destroy their cell walls. This inhibits or even prevents the growth of fungi.
