Chemical Properties
white to light brown crystals or powder
Uses
Nonsystemic, foliar fungicide used in potatoes, tomatoes, wheat, barley and ornamentals.
Uses
Pesticide used to control fungus diseases in lawns and turf.
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of triazenes that is dichlorotriazene in which the hydrogen is replaced by an o-chloroanilino group. A fungicide formerly used to control leaf spots and downy mildew, it is no longer approved for use within the European U
ion.
General Description
White to tan crystals or white powder. Moderately soluble in organic solvents. Insoluble in water. Melting point 159°C.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water. Stable in neutral and slightly acidic aqueous media but hydrolyzes on heating with alkali.
Reactivity Profile
ANILAZINE is incompatible with oils and alkalis. ANILAZINE is slightly corrosive to metals.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for ANILAZINE are not available; however, ANILAZINE is probably combustible.
Environmental Fate
Soil. Anilazine is readily degraded by soil bacteria (Harris et al., 1968). The reported
half-life of anilazine in soil is approximately 12 hours (Hartley and Kidd, 1987)
Plant. In plants, one or both of the chlorine atoms on the triazine ring may be replaced
by thio or amino groups (Hartley and Kidd, 1987)
Chemical/Physical. Anilazine is subject to hydrolysis (Windholz et al., 1983) releasing
chlorine gas (Hartley and Kidd, 1987)
