Fosetyl-aluminum is an inorganic chemical compound from the group of phosphonates .
Extraction and presentation
Fosetyl-aluminum can be prepared starting from diethyl phosphite . This reacts with phosphoric acid , sodium ethoxide and aluminum nitrate to form Fosetyl-Al.
use
Fosetyl-aluminum is a systemic fungicide with protective and curative effects brought onto the market by Rhône-Poulenc (now Bayer CropScience ) . It is mainly used against Plasmopara viticola in viticulture and against downy mildew and other fungal diseases on special crops such as lettuce, cucumber, hops, strawberries and ornamental trees. It is used both as a spray and as a stain .
Admission
The active ingredient is contained in approved plant protection products in a number of EU countries, in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (trade name Aliette ).
metabolism
Fosetyl-aluminum is rapidly broken down into phosphonic acid in the soil .
