The primary use of 2-phenylphenol is as an agricultural fungicide. It is generally applied post-harvest. It is a fungicide used for waxing citrus fruits. It is no longer a permitted food additive in the European Union, but is still allowed as a post-harvest treatment in 4 EU countries. [4] It is also used for disinfection of seed boxes.
The biological activity of a pesticide, be it chemical or biological in nature, is determined by its active ingredient (AI - also called the active substance). Pesticide products very rarely consist of the pure active ingredient.
This is a list of fungicides.These are chemical compounds which have been registered as agricultural fungicides.The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [1]
The most effective fungicides for bitter rot control include the multisite mode-of-action fungicide captan, the osmotic signal transduction disrupter fludioxonil, the oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler fluazinam, the QOI inhibitors pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin, and the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) benzovindiflupyr.
When registered, a label is created to instruct the final user the proper usage of the material. If instructions are ignored, users are liable for any negative consequences. Label directions are designed to maximize the effectiveness of the product, while protecting the applicator, consumers, and the environment.
Benomyl (also marketed as Benlate) is a fungicide introduced in 1968 by DuPont.It is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide that is selectively toxic to microorganisms and invertebrates (especially earthworms), but relatively nontoxic toward mammals.
Mutant pathogens resistant to one benzimidazole fungicide are usually resistant to all of them. [5] The F200Y and E198A,G,K mutations are the most common. Because of resistance problems, use of benzimidazole fungicides has declined. They are suspected to be toxic to animals, including humans. [1]
PCNB is used as a fungicide to suppress the growth of fungi in various crops, such as cotton, rice, and seed grains. It is also used to prevent the formation of slime in industrial waters. Residual amounts of the compound and its metabolites can be found in crops.
