Strobilurins, such as pyraclostrobin, belong to a fungicide group with preventative mode of action and are used around the world. After the launching of strobilurins, and with the evolution of this group of chemical products, the concept of disease control gained new perspectives especially when considering the advantages obtained by the action of positive physiological effects on plants. F-500 (pyraclostrobin) strobilurin, a new generation broad spectrum fungicide has been shown to cause changes in the metabolism of plants resulting in higher biomass and yield. Considering the ever increasing demand for food production with shrinking cultivable area day by day, it is necessary to go for agrochemicals which enhance the growth and development vis-a-vis productivity.
