Isopyrazam is a mixture of four isomeric chemical compounds from the group of pyrazoles and carboxamides .

properties

Isopyrazam is a white odorless powder that is practically insoluble in water. It's a mix of

  • two syn - isomers 3- (difluoromethyl) -1-methyl- N - [(1 RS , 4 SR , 9 RS ) -1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-isopropyl-1,4-methanonaphthalene-5- yl] pyrazole-4-carboxamide and
  • two anti -isomers 3- (difluoromethyl) -1-methyl- N - [(1 RS , 4 SR , 9 SR ) -1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-isopropyl-1,4-methanonaphthalene-5- yl] pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

The technical product contains 78–100% syn and a maximum of 15% of the anti isomers.

use

Isopyrazam is used as a fungicide . It was developed by Syngenta to combat the Black Sigatoka fungus in bananas and works by inhibiting succinate dehydrogenase . In Europe it is said to be used as a fungicide on grain.

Admission

The EU Commission approved the use of isopyrazam as an active ingredient in plant protection products with effect from April 1, 2013.

In Germany and Austria, plant protection products (e.g. Bontima) with this active ingredient are approved against various fungal diseases in grain , but none in Switzerland. Isopyrazam was first approved in England in 2010.

safety instructions

There is evidence that isopyrazam causes liver and uterine tumors in female rats.
