Triforine is a clear light yellow colour with an ethanol (alcohol) odour and a highly flammable
liquid. It is used as a fungicide for the control of black spot, powdery mildew, and
diseases of rust in roses, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals. Application of triforine
acts both as a preventative and a curative fungicide and is known to destroying
diseases already in the plant and also preventing disease infestations. It is also used as
a post-harvest control of brown rot on peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, and plums.
