ChemicalMancozebCommon NameMancozeb (BSI, E-ISO); mancozèbe ((m) F-ISO); manzeb (JMAF)CAS No.8018-01-7, formerly 8065-67-6CAS Name[[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioato]](2-)]manganese mixture with [[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioaMolecular Formula[C4H6MnN2S4]xZnyAgrochemical TypeFungicide, polymeric dithiocarbamateMode of ActionFungicide with protective action. Reacts with, and inactivates the sulfhydryl groups of amino acids and enzymes of fungal cells, resulting in disruption of lipid metabolism, respiration and production of ATP.Characteristics and UsesControl of many fungal diseases in a wide range of field crops, fruit, nuts, vegetables, ornamentals, etc. More frequent uses include control of early and late blights (Phytophthora infestans and Alternaria solani) of potatoes and tomatoes; downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and black rot (Guignardia bidwellii) of vines; downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis) of cucurbits; scab (Venturia inaequalis) of apple; sigatoka (Mycosphaerella spp.) of banana and melanose (Diaporthe citri) of citrus. Typical application rates are 1500-2000 g/ha. Used for foliar application or as a seed treatment.
