TRIFORINE

Описание

Triforine is a clear light yellow colour with an ethanol (alcohol) odour and a highly flammable liquid. It is used as a fungicide for the control of black spot, powdery mildew, and diseases of rust in roses, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals. Application of triforine acts both as a preventative and a curative fungicide and is known to destroying diseases already in the plant and also preventing disease infestations. It is also used as a post-harvest control of brown rot on peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, and plums.

Использование

Triforine is used to control powdery mildews on cereals, fruits, vines, hops, ornamentals, cucurbits and some vegetables, rusts on cereals, fruit, ornamentals and beans. It also controls Munilia spp. on stone fruit, Ascochyta blight on chrysanthemums, black spot on roses, scab on apples and fairy rings on turf. Triforine also suppresses tetranychid mite activity.

Определение

Общее описание

Colorless crystals. Non corrosive. Used as a fungicide.

Профиль реактивности

A piperazine, trichloromethylformamide derivative. Decomposed in strong acid to trichloroacetaldehyde and piperazine salts, and in strongly alkaline media to chloroform and piperazine.

Опасность

Low toxicity by ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. Human systemic effects.

Сельскохозяйственное использование

Fungicide: Triforine is a systemic fungicide with protectant, eridicant, and curative activity.
