NOMENCLATURE

Common name dimethomorph
IUPAC name
(E,Z)-4-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acryloyl]morpholine
Chemical Abstracts name
(E,Z)-4-[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]morpholine
CAS RN [110488-70-5] EEC no. 404-200-2
APPLICATIONS
Mode of action
Local systemic fungicide with good protectant and antisporulant activity. Only the (Z)- isomer is intrinsically active, but, because of rapid interconversion of isomers in the light, it has no advantage over the (E)- isomer in practice.
Uses
Fungicide effective against Oomycetes, especially Peronosporaceae and Phytophthora spp. (but not Pythium spp.) in vines, potatoes, tomatoes and other crops. Used in combination with contact fungicides, and applied at 2.0-2.5 kg dimethomorph/ha.
Formulation types 10%EW, 50% WP, 80%WDG
Packing details
10ML ~200L for liquid formulations, 1G~25KG for solid formulations |
