- Carbendazim is a widely used broad-spectrum
benzimidazole
fungicide. A 4.7% solution of
carbendazim hydrochloride is sold as Eertavas, an effective treatment
for Dutch elm
disease.
- Carbendazim is used to control a wide range of
fungi, including Ascomycetes, Fungi Imperfecti and numerous
Basidiomycetes, which result in plant diseases such as: leaf spots,
blotches and blights; fruit spots and rots; sooty molds; scabs; bulb,
corn and tuber decays, blossom blights, powdery mildews, certain rusts;
and common soilborne crown and root rots.
- It is used on cereals, cotton, grapes, bananas
and other fruit, ornamentals, plantation crops, sugar beet, soybeans,
tobacco, turf, vegetables, mushrooms, and many other crops under most
climatic conditions worldwide.
- Carbendazim is formulated as an aqueous
dispersion, aqueous suspension, flowable water dispersible granules and
a wettable powder.
- pH of the
aqueous dispersion: pH range: 0.5 to 8.5
- Wetting of the
material: It shall be completely wetted in 2 minutes without
swirling.
- Wet sieve test:
Maximum: 0.5% retained on a 75 μm test sieve.
- Suspensibility:
A minimum of 60% of the carbendazim content shall be in
suspension after 30 minutes in CIPAC Standard Water C.
- Alternatively, if the buyer requires other CIPAC
Standard Waters to be used, then this shall be specified when
ordering.
- Degree of
dispersion: Still under consideration
- Persistent
foam: Maximum: 25 ml after 1 min.
- Dustiness:
Maximum 12 mg collected dust
-
Carbendazim is a
very dangerous chemical toxin, causing malformations in the foetus at
very low doses and it is not known if a safe level exists. Carbendazim
is capable of disrupting chromosome unfolding, can cause infertility and
cancer.
-
Being mutagenic
plus reprotoxic, Carbendazim will be banned immediately under the new
rules of Regulation 1107/2009 which enter into force June, 2011. It
would therefore be a grave disrespect of citizen’s health and the
environment if it would still be allowed on the market by Council just
one day before this Regulation enters in force.
