Instinct® is the brand name for Cheminova products based on fenpropidin.
The product is a systemic fungicide with good preventive and curative action. It is mainly used for control of powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis) in cereals.
Fenpropidin works by the inhibition of the ergosterol biosynthesis in the fungus at a different biochemical stage from the triazole fungicides. There is no cross-resistance to triazoles and the product remains effective where some resistance to triazoles has developed in powdery mildew populations.
