- 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. |
