Carpropamid is a rice fungicide. It is not very soluble in water, volatile and, based on its chemical properties, it is non-mobile. Little is known regarding its persistent in soil and aquatic systems. It is not highly toxic to mammals. It shows a moderate level of toxicity to birds, fish and earthworms.
Data alerts
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
Systemic, protective, melanin inhibiting - no curative properties but does induce disease resistance in rice plants
