IPL SODHIT (Thiram 70 WS) seed treatment is an industry
standard with contact activity against multiple seedborne and soilborne fungi in
vegetables and sugarbeets.
Thiram is the simplest thiuram disulfide and the oxidized dimer of dimethyldithiocarbamate . It is
used as a fungicide, ectoparasiticide to prevent fungal diseases in seed and crops and similarly as
an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents and deer.
It is effective against Stem gall of coriander, damping off, smut of millet, neck rot of onion, etc.
Thiram is a type of sulfur fungicide. It has been found to dissolve completely in chloroform, acetone,
and ether. It is available as dust, flowable, wettable powder, water dispersible granules, and water
suspension formulations and in mixtures with other fungicides. [4]
Thiram is nearly immobile in clay soils or in soils of high organic matter. It is not expected to
contaminate groundwater because of its in-soil half life of 15 days and tendency to stick to soil
particles. [ |
