properties

Cymoxanil is a colorless and odorless solid that is insoluble in water. It is stable to hydrolysis, but unstable when exposed to UV light.

use

Cymoxanil is used as a fungicide against Oomycota , especially against downy mildew and late blight . It was developed by DuPont and launched in 1977.

Cymoxanil has a strong curative (healing) effect.

Admission

The active ingredient cymoxanil was approved for use as a fungicide in the European Union with effect from September 1, 2009.

In many EU countries, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland, various plant protection products with this active ingredient are approved.
