SUMMARY
Anilazine is a fungicide that no longer has approval for use in the EU. It has a low aqueous solubility, volatile and presents a low risk of leaching to groundwater. Whilst it is not highly toxic to humans there are some concerns regarding its potential to bioaccumulate. It is highly toxic to fish and moderately toxic to most other aquatic organisms, birds, honeybees and earthworms. GENERAL INFORMATION 
for anilazine
Description: An obsolete fungicide once used to control various fungal pathogens including blights and Botrytis on fruit and other crops
Example pests controlled: Late blights; Leaf spots; Anthracnose; Downy mildew; Botrytis; Alternaria
Example applications: Fruit including blackberry, cranberry, raspberry, blueberry and melon; Celery; Cucumber; Garlic and onions; Potato; Pumpkin
Availability status: Obsolete
