What is the difference between thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim?
Thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim are the most commonly used fungicides and are widely applied on many crops, but many people may not be able to tell the difference between thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim. Let's take a look together below.
1. The difference between thiophanate-methyl and carbendazim
Thiophanate-methyl is a broad-spectrum systemic low-toxicity fungicide with systemic, preventive and curative effects. It can effectively control diseases of many crops, such as being used on wheat, rice, sweet potato, etc. to control various diseases. It is mainly used for foliar spraying, and can also be used for soil treatment.
Carbendazim is a high-efficiency low-toxicity systemic fungicide with systemic curative and protective effects. Its chemical properties are stable; the technical material stored in a cool, dry place for 2-3 years shows no change in active ingredient. It is low in toxicity to humans and livestock, and also low in toxicity to fish. It mainly controls powdery mildew, early blight, anthracnose, fusarium wilt, damping-off, seedling blight and so on in fruit trees and vegetables. It can be mixed with general fungicides, but when mixed with insecticides or acaricides it should be used immediately after mixing, and it should not be mixed with alkaline agents.
2. Introduction to thiophanate-methyl
The full name of thiophanate-methyl is thiophanate-methyl, a broad-spectrum systemic low-toxicity fungicide with systemic, preventive and curative effects. It was originally researched and developed by Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. of Japan. It can effectively control diseases of many crops.
3. Introduction to carbendazim
Carbendazim is also known as cotton wilt fungicide and benzimidazole No. 44. Carbendazim is a broad-spectrum fungicide with control effects on diseases of many crops caused by fungi (such as Deuteromycetes and Ascomycetes). It can be used for foliar spraying, seed treatment and soil treatment, etc. It can effectively control various crop diseases caused by fungi, and its range of use in our country is wide, but its residues can cause liver disease and chromosomal aberrations, and it is toxic to mammals.
Both of these are very commonly used fungicides. During use, which one to use should be decided according to the specific crop and situation. When purchasing, it is best to inquire clearly.
