Epoxiconazole, introduced to the market by BASF in 1993, can be found in many products and product mixtures targeting a large number of pathogens in various crops like cereals (mainly wheat, barley, rye and triticale), soybeans, banana, rice, coffee, turnips, and red as well as sugar beets, and it is a fungicide active ingredient from the class of azoles developed to protect crops. In particular, the substance inhibits the metabolism of fungi cells infesting useful plants, and thereby prevents the growth of the mycelia (fungal cells).
