Description

Edifenphos is a broad-spectrum organophosphorus fungicide that is used to control a wide range of fungal diseases in crops such as rice, wheat, barley, and vegetables. It is synthesized by the reaction of O,O-diethylphosphorochloridothioate with 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline. Edifenphos inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with the synthesis of fungal cell walls. It is highly effective against rice blast, a devastating fungal disease that can cause significant yield losses. The compound is also used to control other diseases such as sheath blight, brown spot, and leaf scald. Edifenphos has been shown to be effective in controlling rice blast in both field and greenhouse trials. However, its use has been restricted in some countries due to concerns about its potential to harm the environment and human health. It is being studied to determine its potential for resistance development in target organisms and to develop more sustainable fungicides.'

edifenphos : An organic thiophosphate that is the O-ethyl-S,S-diphenyl ester of phosphorodithioic acid. Used to control a variety of fungal diseases on rice including blast, ear blight and stem rot. Edifenphos is moderately toxic to mammals and fish but poses more of a risk to aquatic invertebrates.

Research Excerpts

Overview

Edifenphos (EDF) is an organophosphorus pesticide with antifungal and anti-insecticidal properties. As a WHO Class Ib highly hazardous pesticide, we recommend its withdrawal from, and replacement in, global agricultural practice.
