Propiconazole
is a triazole fungicide, also known as a DMI, or demethylation
inhibiting fungicide due to its binding with and inhibiting the
**-alpha demethylase enzyme from demethylating a precursor to
ergosterol. Without this demethylation step, the ergosterols are
not incorporated into the growing fungal cell walls, and cellular
growth is stopped. Propiconazole is used agriculturally on
turfgrasses grown for seed and asthetic or athletic value,
mushrooms, corn, wild rice, peanuts, almonds, sorghum, oats,
pecans, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums and prunes
