(Also known as: SF-7531)

SUMMARY

Diclomezine is a fungicide that is not approved for use in the EU. It has a low aqueous solubility and is volatile. There are significant gaps in reported fate data. It is highly toxic to mammals. Diclomezine moderately toxic to honeybees but is relatively non-toxic to most aquatic organisms and birds.
