TECHNICAL INFORMATION BULLETIN—PEANUTS

OVERVIEW Excalia™ Fungicide is a 2.84 SC foliar formulation of the active ingredient INDIFLIN® (inpyrfluxam). Excalia is intended for use on peanuts for white mold (Southern stem rot, Sclerotium rolfsii ), Rhizoctonia limb and pod rot, and Sclerotinia blight.

Excalia is powerful against peanut soil-borne diseases because it works quickly to form a long-lasting zone of protection around the peanut crown. EXCALIA TECHNICAL FEATURES—PEANUTS  Highly systemic action for fast movement into the limb/stem tissue  Strong potency against Sclerotium rolfsii , the pathogen that causes white mold (Southern stem rot)  Superior staying power for longer-lasting residual control  Excellent fit in an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program or Peanut Rx program MODE OF ACTION INDIFLIN , the active ingredient in Excalia , acts as a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor and disrupts the energy cycle in fungi by targeting succinate dehydrogenase (complex II). It interferes with spore germination, mycelial growth and spore production. As a foliar application, INDIFLIN has good rainfastness and exhibits translaminar activity, meaning that treatment of the upper (adaxial) surface of a leaf provides protection of the lower (abaxial) surface and vice versa. INDIFLIN is not phloem-mobile and therefore does not move out of a treated leaf to those above and below. INDIFLIN belongs to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) class (Group 7) of fungicides as classified by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC).
