Chemical Abstracts name (±)α-(*-(*-chlorophenyl)ethyl)-α-(1, *-dimethylethyl)*1H*1, 2, *-triazole**-ethan-ol Biochemistry Steroid demethylation (ergosterol biosynthesis) inhibitor. Mode of action Systemic fungicide with protective, curative, and eradicant action. Rapidly absorbed into the vegetative parts of the plant, with translocation principally acropetally. Uses As a seed dressing, tebuconazole is effective against various smut and bunt diseases of cereals, such as Tilletia spp., Ustilago spp. . and Urocystis spp., also against Septoria nodorum (seed-borne), at **3 g/dt seed; and Sphacelotheca reiliana in maize, at 7.5 g/dt seed.
