Introduction : .

Fungicides are chemicals that have the


ability to reduce or prevent the damage caused by
fungi in plants and their products.
Fungicides are
biocidal chemical compounds used to kill parasitic fungi
or their spores.

Classification of fungicides
1. On the basis of use
 Protective
 Curative

A. Protective fungicides : .

They prevent fungal infection


by sporocidal activity.. E.g. Sulphur

B. Curative fungicides :
It penetrate cuticle and kill
young fungal mycelium growing in the epidermis and
this prevents further development of fungal growth.
E.g. Organomercurials
C. Eradicant fungicides : .

They are agents that make


control of fungus even after the symptoms become
visible and that kill both newly developed spores and
the mycelium.
E.g. Systemic fungicides

2. On the basis of sources of raw material


A. Inorganic fungicides :
It includes sulfur powder, lime
sulfur, copper sulfate, mercuric chloride etc…
B. Organic fungicides :
.

Chemistry, use, and mode of action of

1.Carbendazim
2.Carboxin
3.Captan
4.Tridemorph
5.Copper oxychloride
.

1. Carbendazim :

 IUPAC Name
Methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate
 Other Names
 Mercarzole
 Carbendazole
 Properties
 Chemical formula : C9H9N3O2
 Melting Point (M.P) : 302-307˚ C
Uses .

 It is used to control plant diseases in cereals, and


fruit including citrus, bananas, strawberries,
pineapple etc..
 Mostly used to control Botrytis, Gloeosporium rots,
powdery mildews and apple scab
Mode of action
Carbendazim works by inhibiting the development
of fungi probably by interfering with spindle
formation at mitosis (cell division).
affects the nervous system through their main
metabolite, carbon disulfide.
2. Carboxin : .

IUPAC Name :
6-methyl-N-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-oxathiine-5-carboxamide

• It is an off-white crystals
• Systemic fungicide and seed protectant.
• soluble in water
Mode of action .

The dioxide analogue of carboxin inhibit


succinate cytochrome C reductase,
succinate co-enzyme Q reductase or
succinate reductase.
Beside this monoxide analogue also
inhibit these enzymes.
3. Captan : .

 IUPAC Name :
2-(trichloromethylsulfanyl)-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydroisoindole-1,3-dione
Others Name :
 Captaf
 Hexacap
 Captab
Properties .

 Odorless
 white crystalline powder
 Melting point 172.5˚ C
 Slightly soluble in ethylene dichloride
 Noncorrosive in nature
 Uses :
Captan is predominantly used in agriculture as a
fungicide on a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and
ornamentals on plant seeds, and also on food crop
packaging boxes.
Captan is also used in cosmetics
 pharmaceuticals
oil-based paints
 wallpaper paste
Plasticizers
rubber stabilizers
 textiles etc……
Mode of action .

Captan is non specific thiol rectant with protective


and curative action that works by inhibiting
respiration of numerous species of fungi and
bacteria

The mechanism of action may involve the


degradation of captan in to the short lived thio
phosgene which is highly reactive with thiols and
other functional group
4. Tridemorph .

Inhibit lipid synthesis and
Often inhibit sterol biosynthesis
5. Copper oxychloride .

IUPAC Name
Dicopper Chloride Trihydroxide
Properties
Not flammable
Highly toxic fungicide
Insoluble in water
Uses :
Copper Oxychloride is for the control of fungal and
bacterial diseases in fruit and vegetable crops, citrus,
stone fruit, pome fruit and ornamentals.
Key Features and Benefits .
