IUPAC name manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (polymeric) complex with zinc salt
Chemical Abstracts name [[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioato]](2-)]manganese mixture with [[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioato]](2-)]zinc
CAS RN [8018-01-7], formerly [8065-67-6]; number also applies to other mixed manganese and zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) complexes
Product Description
Mancozeb is a mixture of Maneb and Zineb, a manganese and zinc (1:1) complex mixture with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. Mancozeb is a foliate fungicide used to protect crops in agriculture. Mancozeb has a broader and more effective fungacidal activity than either of its component on their own. Mancozeb also significantly enhances the copper activity against several bacteriosis.
Product Uses
Control of many fungal diseases in a wide range of field crops, fruit, nuts, vegetables, ornamentals, etc. More frequent uses include control of early and late blights (Phytophthora infestans and Alternaria solani) of potatoes and tomatoes; downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and black rot (Guignardia bidwellii) of vines; downy mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis) of cucurbits; scab (Venturia inaequalis) of apples; Sigatoka (Mycosphaerella spp.) of bananas; and melanose (Diaporthe citri) of citrus. Typical application rates are 1500-2000 g/ha. Used for foliar application or as a seed treatment.
