CAS 57966-95-7: Cymoxanil

Cymoxanil is a fungicidal against plant diseases caused by fungi belonging to the Perenosporales[1].

Cymoxanil is a fungicide that is used to control a wide variety of foliar and soil-borne diseases. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis, which can lead to cell death. Cymoxanil has been shown to have genotoxic effects in animals and humans, although it does not show mutagenic activity in standard assays. Cymoxanil has also been shown to be toxic to aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants. It is toxic to insects, mammals, birds, and fish when ingested orally or through inhalation.

Applications Cymoxanil is a fungicide applied as a seed treatment or as a foliar application to the plants to control late blight.
