Pydiflumetofen (Ref: SYN 545794)	Last updated: 24/01/2023
(Also known as: adepidyn )

SUMMARY

Pydiflumetofen is a broad-spectrum fungicide. It has a low aquesous solubility and a low volatility. It may be persistent in both soil and water systems depending upon local conditions. It is not highly toxic to mammals but it may be a liver and/or thyroid toxicant. It is highly toxic to most aquatic species.
