Information @ a Glance

Contents on the CD Rom

  • Captafol is a fungicide. It is used to control almost all fungal diseases of plants except powdery mildews.
  • Captafol is a broad-spectrum protective contact fungicide belonging to the sulfanilamide group.
  • Captafol is an alkylating agent and has produced genotoxic effects in a variety of systems.
  • Captafol is used widely to control diseases on apples, citrus fruits, tomatoes, cranberries, potatoes, coffee, pineapples, peanuts, onion,
    stone fruits, cucumbers, blueberries, prunes, watermelons, sweet corn, wheat, barley, oilseed rape, leeks, strawberries, cotton, peanuts and rice.
  • Captafol is prepared by the reaction of tetrahydrophthalimide and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethylsulfenyl chloride in the presence of aqueous  sodium hydroxide
  • A simple and rapid colorimetric method for the microdetermination of captafol (difolatan), based on its reaction with a  dithiocarbamate, has been developed. The bright yellow colour which develops instantaneously on mixing the fungicide with the
    reagent is stable for at least 12 h. The method has been successfully adapted to the determination of captafol in its formulated products
    and residues on grains and apples.
  • In vitro effects of fungicide captafol on the production of IL-1 and IL-2 was studied in avian splenic mononuclear cells.
  • Captafol was tested for carcinogenicity in feeding studies in CD-1 mice, B6C3F1 mice, Crl:CD rats, and F344 rats.
  • Several registered fungicides evaluated over a 7-yearperiod in the southern San Joaquin Valley controlled the disease on fruit. Captan, captafol, and ziram preceded by dormant copper provided the most consistent control.
  • A method has been developed for the analysis of seven fungicides in environmental waters, using solid-phase microextraction (SPME).
    The analyzed compounds — dicloran, chlorothalonil, vinclozolin, dichlofluanid, captan, folpet and captafol — belong to different
    classes of chemical compound (chloroanilines, sulphamides, phthalimides and oxazolidines) and are used mainly in agriculture and as antifouling paints.
