Fungicidal compounds, present

Inhibited by the presence of segments of the stem or root tissue (11). The fungicidal compound present in healthy seedlings was isolated, its structure and steric configuration were established and the substance (Wyerone) was also synthesised (12,13). 

Research in recent years has shown that protective chemicals in plants can operate in disease resistance. Some of these chemicals occur in disease-free plants, but fungicidal compounds can build up in tissues in response to attempted infection. When this occurs, these defense chemicals are known as phytoalexins. Papers to be presented at this conference by Cutler et al., Harborne, Bailey,... 

A series of novel 4-phenoxyquinolines has been developed which show potent control of fungicide-sensitive and resistant strains of powdery mildew in grape and cereal crops. Protective, curative, and systemic activity has been observed for these materials, which also control other fungi. Strong activity in field studies has been noted and no crossresistance was encountered when fungicide-resistant strains of mildew were treated with these compounds, thereby suggesting a novel mode of action. The discovery, synthesis and structure-activity relationship of this novel class of fungicides are presented, as well as some data from field and cross-resistance studies. 

Prior to the 1990s phenyhnercuric acetate was the primary bactericide and fungicide in latex and waterborne paints. Because of the increasing concerns of mercury toxicity and the potential for high consumer and occupational exposures to mercury when present in paints, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) induced U.S. manufacturers of PMA and other mercury compounds to withdraw their registrations for use of these substances as biocides in paints (see AIercury). Mercury compounds are used only for very limited, specific purposes, such as the use of phenyhnercuric mXx.2LX.e[55-68-5] as a bactericide in cosmetic eye preparations (see Cosmetics). 

Herbicides. An array of herbicides are registered for use in aquatic sites, but copper sulfate and diquat dibromide are of additional interest because they also have therapeutic properties (9,10). Copper sulfate has been used to control bacteria, fungi, and certain parasites, including Jchthjophthirius (ich). Diquat dibromide can control columnaris disease, but it also exhibits fungicidal properties (9,10). EPA recentiy proposed to limit the amount of diquat dibromide, endothaH, glyphosate, and simazine that can be present in drinking water therefore, the use of these compounds may be reduced if they cannot be removed from the effluent. 

By far the greatest emphasis in the research and application of microbial antibiotics has been concerned with animal and human health. Despite the extent of the problems relating to plant disease, the practical use of antimicrobial antibiotics in plant agriculture has been limited to a few crops and compounds Only streptomycin and actidione (XI) at present enjoy commercial importance. This may be due in part to the wider applicability of the less expensive synthetic fungicides and in part to the difficulty of arousing much public sympathy for a sick plant. 

Hexachloroethane is a colorless solid that gradually evaporates when it is exposed to air. This compound is also called perchloroethane, carbon hexachloride, and HCE. It is sold under the trade names Avlothane, Distokal, Distopan, and Distopin. In the United States, about half of the hexachloroethane is used by the military for smoke-producing devices. It is also sold as degassing pellets that are used to remove the air bubbles in melted aluminum. Hexachloroethane may be present as an ingredient in some fungicides, insecticides, lubricants, plastics, and cellulose. At one time, hexachloroethane was prescribed for deworming animals. 

Five compounds classified as priority pollutants contain an ether moiety and halogen atoms attached to the aryl and alkyl groups. Five pesticides are suspected to contain at least one compound from this class. B/i(2-chloroethyl) ether (BCEE) is used as a raw material in two pesticides BCEE itself functions as a fungicide or bactericide in certain applications. In the other three pesticides, the ethers are suspected to be present as raw material impurities. 

This book examines the chemistry and mode of action of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and plant growth regulators. It follows crop protection strategies from early discoveries to the present day, emphasising the biochemical targets of the compounds discussed. 

Urthophenylenediamine (OPDA) is an important intermediate of several biologically active compounds, including the benzimidazene--carbamate type fungicides [1]. There are different routes for the synthesis of OPUA. In the present work an attempt was done to prepare OPOA from 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline (CNA). CNA can be obtained by nitration and subsequent ammonolysis of para-dichloro-benzcne [ 1]. 

In this review, I have presented some of the most important members of the azole class. They represent the thousands of compounds synthesized and biologically tested during the past 18 years. The history of the discovery of the azoles and the results achieved to date serve to illustrate the enormous progress made in the past decade in the research and development of organic fungicides.
