Uses

Diethofenacarb is a pesticide used on crops. It is a fungicide commonly used in China.

Definition

ChEBI: A carbamate ester that is the isopropyl ester of (3,4-diethoxyphenyl)carbamic acid. A fungicide with strong activity against Botrytis cinerea and benzimidazole-resistant strains of Botryis spp.

Hazard

Low toxicity by ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact.

Metabolic pathway

In aerobic upland soils under laboratory conditions, the half-life of 14C-diethofencarb is 0.3-6.2 days and the major metabolite is a nitrated derivative at the 6-position of the phenyl ring. Diethofencarb slowly degrades under anaerobic upland conditions and hardly degrades in sterilized soils.
