Fluopyram is a fungicide and nematicide used in agriculture.[2][3] It is used to control fungal diseases such as gray mold (Botrytis cinerea), powdery mildew, apple scab, Alternaria, Sclerotinia, and Monilinia. It is an inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHI fungicide).[4]
Developed and produced by Bayer, it was approved in 2012 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency[4] and in 2013 it was approved in the EU for use as an active ingredient in pesticides.[5]
