The use of sulfur and copper fungicides dominated the market until 1915 when organomercury seed treatments, derived from discoveries in the pharmaceutical and dyestuffs industries, were shown to be highly effective against cereal diseases. They remained popular until banned in the late 1970s on the grounds of adverse toxicology.

Uses as fungicide for control of powdery mildews, rusts in cereals and Rhynchosporium in cereals and control of bunt, smuts, Typhula spp., seedling blight, leaf stripe, net blotch, and other cereal diseases when used for seed treatment, etc. 

It became clear from the relationships, particularly on the cereal diseases, that further synthesis aiming at high levels of both protectant and systemic activity must take log P into account. On cereals the range was approximately 2.4-3.3 with an optimum value depending on the balance of protectant and systemic activity required. For diseases of top fruit the requirements were less stringent except that if high systemic activity was required the upper log P limit was lower than on cereals. 

Based on these findings the FRAC DMI Working Group recommends that repeated application of DMI fungicides alone for the control of cereal diseases in the same...

Oxathiins. Carboxin and Oxycarboxin, introduced in 1966, were the first commercially successful systemic fungicides. They are selectively toxic to a number of cereal diseases such as smuts and rust. Again the mode of action involves enzyme inhibition.
