Description
Chlorothalonil is a broad-spectrum organic fungicide mainly used to control fungi that threatens a number of agricultural crops, vegetables, trees, fruits, turf and paints, etc. It can also serves as a wood protectant, pesticide, acaricide, which is effective to kill mildew, bacteria, algae, and insects. Besides, it can commercially act as a preservative additive in several paints, resins, emulsions, coatings and can be used on commercial grasses such as golf courses and lawns.
Chlorothalonil was first registered by the EPA in 1966. It is environmentally persistent and binds strongly with soil, whose expected half-life in aerobic soils is one to three months. Chlorothalonil functions by reducing the intracellular glutathione molecules of fungal to alternate its forms which affects the essential enzymatic reactions of fungal, ultimately leading to cell death. Chlorothalonil is a pesticide fungicide commonly used
in the cultivation of ornamental plants and flowers,
rice, and onions. In banana plantations it is used in
fumigations by airplanes. It can be used as a preservative
of paints and of woods. Chlorothalonil can
induce contact urticaria, irritant and allergic contact
dermatitis, erythema dychromicum perstans or
folliculitis mainly in agricultural workers, in those in
wood-related professions or in hortieulturists.

uses
Chlorothalonil is a fungicide with a broad spectrum of activity used mainly in agriculture but also on turf, lawns and ornamental plants. It protects plants against a variety of fungal infections such as rusts, downy mildew, leaf spot, scabs, blossom blight and black pod. Crops protected include pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus, currants, cranberries, strawberries, bananas, vines, hops, tomatoes, green vegetables, tobacco, coffee, tea, soya bean, groundnuts, potatoes, onions, cereals and sugar beet. In addition, it is used in wood preservatives, fish net coatings and anti-fouling paints.

Uses
Chlorothalonil is a non-systemic foliar fungicide with protective
activity. It is used to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in fruit
(pome, stone, citrus, etc.), berries, vegetables, cucurbits, root crops, soyabeans,
ornamentals and turf. Chlorothalonil is a polychlorinated aromatic broad spectrum non-systematic fungicide. Chlorothalonil is used heavily in agriculture field on crops such as peanuts, potatoes and tomatoes. Chlorothaloni
l is a probable human carcinogen (Group B2) and is highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertabrates.
