Description
Benomyl, a tan-coloured crystalline solid/powder, is a systemic fungicide with a characteristic
odour. It belongs to the benzimidazole family. Benomyl decomposes at high
temperature. Benomyl is essentially insoluble in water. It is stable under normal storage
conditions but will decompose to carbendazim in water. On decomposition by heat, benomyl
produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides.
Benomyl is a systemic and broad-spectrum fungicide that is currently registered for use
in more than 50 countries on more than 70 crops for the control of diseases in fruit trees, nut
crops, vegetables, cereals, tropical crops and ornamentals, turf, and many field crops. Benomyl
is marketed as a wettable powder and as a dry flowable formulation (dispersible granules).

Uses
Fungicide; ascaricide. Post-harvest systemic fungicide used to control fungi and mildew on cotton, roses,
soft fruits, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables. Benomyl is a systemic fungicide with both protective and curative
activities. It is effective against more than 190 different fungal diseases in
stone fruits, pome fruits, tropical and subtropical fruit crops, grapes, fruiting
vegetables, cereals, etc. It is effective against fungal diseases caused by
Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes spp., including leaf spots, blotches and
blights; fruit spots and rots; sooty mould; scabs, bulb, corm and tuber
decays; blossom blights; powdery mildew; certain rusts; common soil
borne crown and root rots.
