Pyrimethanil Suspension Concentrate (SC) is a water-based liquid formulation of the fungicide pyrimethanil, where the active ingredient is present as finely milled solid particles dispersed evenly in water.
The SC formulation provides optimal stability, ease of dilution, strong surface coverage, and uniform distribution on crop foliage.

Pyrimethanil belongs to the anilinopyrimidine class of fungicides and is widely used against Botrytis, Alternaria, scab, anthracnose, and many fruit & vegetable fungal diseases.
It is classified under FRAC Group 9, acting by inhibiting fungal methionine biosynthesis, which blocks germination and early fungal development.
