Acibenzolar- S -methyl (abbreviation BTH ) is a chemical compound that is used as a fungicide . BTH is derived from Acibenzolar . The active ingredient intervenes in the salicylic acid synthesis and thus triggers a systemically activated resistance.

It is considered safe for consumers and is already used against bacterial diseases in tomatoes. In the case of grapes, experiments have shown that grapes treated with BTH contain more anthocyanins (suspected antioxidant effect) than untreated ones.

According to the maximum residue amount regulation of the Federal Ministry for Consumer Protection , only 0.02 mg / kg of BTH may be present in eggs, meat and dairy products.

history

Acibenzolar- S- methyl was introduced in 1996 by Ciba-Geigy (now Syngenta ).

Admission

Plant protection products with this active ingredient are approved in Switzerland, but not in Germany or Austria.
