Fungicide Pesticide & Metabolite Carbendazim 100g/L + Chlorothalonil 450g/L SC
CarbendazimCarbendazim is a fungicide that is not approved for use in the EU. It has a low aqueous solubility, is volatile and moderately mobile. It is moderately persistent in soil and can be very persistent in water systems under certain conditions. Carbendazim has a low mammalian toxicity and is not expected to bioaccumulate. It is, however, reported as a reproduction/developmental toxicant. It is moderately toxic to honeybees and most aquatic organisms. It is highly toxic to earthworms but non-toxic to birds.
Description: A fungicide used to control a a range of diseases including Septoria, Fusarium and Sclerotina. Can also be a pesticide transformation product

Chlorothalonil is a broad spectrum fungicide that is approved for use in the EU and is widely used. It has a low aqueous solubility, is volatile and would not be expected to leach to groundwater. It is slightly mobile. It tends not to be persistent in soil systems but may be persistent in water. It has a low mammalian toxicity but there is some concern regarding its bioaccumulation potential. It is a recognised irritant. Chlorothalonil is moderately toxic to birds, honeybees and earthworms but considered to be more toxic to aquatic organisms.
Description: A fungicide used to control a wide range of diseases on a broad range of crops. Also used as a wood preservative.
Example pests controlled: Rust; purple spot; Leaf blight; Anthracnose; Downy mildew; Ring spot; Stalk rot; Botrytis rot; Pod & stem blight
