Thiophanate-methyl 甲基硫菌灵
Introduction: Thiophanate-methyl is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide that is absorbed by the roots and leaves of the treated plants. It has both protective and curative action. It is classified as group I fungicide. Since it targets a broad spectrum of diseases and plants, it has been used widely since 1973. It is recommended to alternate fungicides or tank mix this fungicide with other types of fungicides with different modes of action.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Animals In rats, following oral administration, 61% is excreted in the urine and 35% in the faeces within 90 minutes after the last dose. Metabolism involves cyclisation to carbendazim (q.v.). The principal metabolite in rats is methyl 5-hydroxybenzimidazol-2-carbamate. Plants In plants, cyclisation occurs, leading to the formation of carbendazim (q.v.). Soil/Environment Soil persistence is c. 3-4 weeks. In soil, in aqueous solution, and under the influence of u.v. light, cyclisation occurs, leading to the formation of carbendazim (q.v.). This then undergoes degradation to 2-aminobenzimidazole and 5-hydroxy-2-aminobenzimidazole. Soil adsorption Kd 1.2.
Usage: Thiophanate-methyl was introduced by the Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. Registered in Japan in 1971. It is a systemic fungicide effective with protective and curative activity against a broad spectrum of diseases in fruit, vegetables and other crops.
Application: Biochemistry Carbendazim precursor. Mode of action Systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. Absorbed by the leaves and roots. Uses A fungicide used at 30-50 g/ha and effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens including: eyespot and other diseases of cereals; scab on apples and pears; Monilia disease and bitter rot on apples; Monilia spp. on stone fruit; canker on fruit trees; powdery mildews on pome fruit, stone fruit, vegetables, cucurbits, strawberries, vines, roses, etc.; Botrytis and Sclerotinia spp. on various crops; leaf spot diseases on beet, oilseed rape, celery, celeriac, etc.; club root on brassicas; dollar spot, Corticium, and Fusarium spp. on turf; grey mould in vines; blast in rice; sigatoka disease in bananas; and many diseases in floriculture. Also used on almonds, pecans, tea, coffee, peanuts, soya beans, tobacco, chestnuts, sugar cane, citrus fruit, figs, hops, mulberries, and many other crops. Used additionally as a wound protectant for pruning cuts on trees.
