Description

Metiram is a polymeric dithiocarbamate fungicide belonging to the ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) group. It is valued for its broad-spectrum, protective action against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops. This product is essential for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable disease management solutions. Metiram CAS NO 9006-42-2 is a key active ingredient in the global agrochemical market.

Application

Metiram is primarily used as a protective fungicide in agricultural applications. Its key uses include:

• Foliar Fungicide: Protection of fruits, vegetables, and field crops against fungal pathogens such as downy mildew, early and late blight, and scab.
• Potato and Tomato Production: Critical for managing Phytophthora infestans (late blight) and Alternaria solani (early blight).
• Viticulture: Used in vineyards to control downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola).
• Fruit Orchards: Application on pome and stone fruits for protection against scab and other foliar diseases.
• Industrial Formulation: Serves as a technical-grade active ingredient for the manufacture of wettable powder (WP) and water-dispersible granule (WG) formulations.
• Disease Resistance Management: An important tool in fungicide rotation programs to delay the development of pathogen resistance.

Quality Control

Our technical-grade Metiram is manufactured under strict quality management systems. The product undergoes rigorous batch testing to ensure consistent potency, purity, and physical properties meet industry standards for agrochemical actives. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as active ingredient assay and relevant impurities are available for every batch upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
