SBI Class IV Squalene Epoxidase Inhibitors

SBI class IV includes squalene epoxidase inhibitors that are actually not used as agricultural fungicides. Fungal squalene epoxidases are only very distantly related to their mammalian and higher plant counterparts in the phylogenetic tree [115] and are therefore principally suited as target of selective antimycotics as well as of 

Pyributicarb is a systemic herbicide, absorbed by roots, leaves and stem, and translocated to active growth sites where it inhibits elongation of roots and aerial plant parts. It is mainly used in rice and turf against annual and perennial grass weeds such as Echinochloa.
