Description

Dichlobanil, also known as 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline, is a fungicide used to control diseases in various crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and grapes. It is a synthetic compound that inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with their cellular respiration. Dichlobanil is typically applied as a soil drench or seed treatment. It is absorbed by the roots and transported throughout the plant, providing systemic protection against fungal infections. Dichlobanil has been shown to be effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens, including Alternaria, Botrytis, and Fusarium. However, its use has been restricted in some countries due to concerns about its potential environmental and health risks. Research on dichlobanil focuses on its effectiveness as a fungicide, its environmental fate and persistence, and its potential impact on human health and wildlife.'

2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile : A nitrile that is benzonitrile which is substituted by chlorines at positions 2 and 6. A cellulose synthesis inhibitor, it is used as a pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicide.
