Environmental Fate of Mancozeb

Mancozeb is one member of ethylenebisdiothiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicides. This compound has a negligible vapor pressure, therefore it has a low potential to volatilize into the air. In water, mancozeb can be quickly hydrolyzed with a half-life of less than 2 days. The identified hydrolysis degradates are ethylenethiourea (ETU), ethyleneurea (EU) and ethylene bisisothiocyanate sulfide (EBIS). Man...

Environmental Fate of Carbaryl

The document reviews the environmental fate and environmental effect of carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methyl carbamate). Carbaryl is one of the most frequently used carbamate insecticides and widely used for the control of a variety of pests on fruit, vegetables, forage, cotton and many other crops, as well as on poultry, livestock and pets (Mathew et al., 1995). It is available as wettable powders, p...

Environmental Fate of Maneb

The fungicide maneb is moderately soluble in water and undergoes hydrolysis. Its main products for hydrolysis and photolysis are EU, ETU, EBIS, and glycine. Microbial degradation of maneb represents a minor breakdown route. Aquatic metabolism yields the main products EBIS, ETU, and EU. A field dissipation study showed that maneb persisted in soil for one week when applied at 100 ppm. Maneb is a...
