Description

Quintozine (CAS NO 82-68-8) is a highly effective organochlorine fungicide belonging to the pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) chemical class. It matters for its broad-spectrum protective action against soil-borne fungal pathogens, offering reliable crop protection and yield enhancement. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators in the agrochemical industry seeking to control diseases in a variety of crops, turf, and ornamental plants.

Application

• Agricultural Fungicide: Primary use as a soil treatment for controlling damping-off, root rot, and wirestem diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani and other fungi in vegetables, cotton, potatoes, and ornamentals.
• Seed Treatment: Applied as a seed dressing to protect germinating seeds and seedlings from soil-borne fungal infections.
• Turf Management: Used in professional turf care for the prevention and suppression of diseases like brown patch and large patch in golf courses and sports fields.
• Bulb and Tuber Dip: Treatment of bulbs, corms, and seed pieces prior to planting to prevent rot during storage and establishment.
• Industrial Preservative: Potential use in non-agricultural applications such as a preservative for industrial materials, subject to local regulatory approvals.
• Formulation Intermediate: Serves as a key active ingredient for manufacturers producing wettable powders, dusts, and granular fungicide formulations.
