BENOMYL
    苯菌灵
Introduction: Systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. Absorbed through the roots and green tissues, with translocation acropetally. Acts by inhibiting development of the germ tubes, the formation of appressoria, and the growth of mycelia. Effective against a wide range of Ascomycetes, Fungi Imperfecti and some Basidiomycetes in cereals, grapes, pome and stone fruit, rice and vegetables. It is also effective against mites, primarily as an ovicide. Also used as pre-harvest spray or dip for the control of storage rots of fruit and vegetables.

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Benomyl's production and use as a fungicide will result in its direct release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 3.7×10-9 mm Hg at deg C indicates benomyl will exist solely in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere. Particulate-phase benomyl will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. If released to soil, benomyl is expected to have slight mobility based upon a Koc of 2,000. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon a Henry's Law constant of 4.93×10-12 atm-cu m/mole. Benomyl is not expected to volatilize from dry soils based upon its vapor pressure. Biodegradation is not expected to be a major environmental fate process since benomyl hydrolyzes rapidly to methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate (carbendazim; MBC) and butyl isocyanate in moist soil and water. The half-life of benomyl is 2 and 19 hours in water and soil, respectively. If released into water,benomyl is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 9 suggests potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Occupational exposure to benomyl may occur through inhalation of dust particles and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where benomyl is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to benomylvia ingestion of food products containing benomyl. (SRC)
Usage: Fungicide reported by C. J. Delp & H. L. Klopping (Plant Dis. Rep., 1968, 52, 95). Introduced by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. in 1970, who ceased marketing it in 2001. Manufacturers: Agro-Chemie; Aragro; CAC; Gilmore; Jiangsu Eternal; Sannong; Sharda; Sinon; Sundat.
Application: Systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. Absorbed through the leaves and roots, with translocation principally acropetally. Effective against a wide range of Ascomycetes, and Fungi Imperfecti and some Basidiomycetes in cereals, grapes, pome and stone fruit, rice and vegetables. It is also effective against mites, primarily as an ovicide. Also used as pre-harvest sprays or dips for the control of storage rots of fruit and vegetables. Typical rates are: on field and vegetable crops, 140-550 g a.i./ha; on tree crops 550-1100 g/ha; for post-harvest uses 25-200 g/hl.
