General Description

Calcium ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a fungicide in agricultural practices. It is a coordination complex of calcium with the dithiocarbamate anion, and is known for its ability to effectively control a wide range of plant diseases caused by fungi. It works by inhibiting the enzyme systems of the fungi, thereby preventing their growth and reproduction. Calcium ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) is usually applied as a foliar spray or soil drench to protect plants from diseases such as damping-off, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. However, it is important to use this chemical with caution, as it can be toxic to aquatic organisms and may have adverse effects on human health if not handled properly.
