What is Cymoxanil CAS 57966-95-7?
Cymoxanil CAS 57966-95-7 is an acetimide-type fungicidal compound used primarily for controlling plant diseases caused by oomycete pathogens such as Phytophthora, Plasmopara , and Peronospora. It functions as a locally systemic fungicide that penetrates plant tissues and is applied in agricultural protection programs for crops including grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables. The compound is commonly handled as a solid active ingredient in agrochemical formulations and research related to crop disease management and fungal growth inhibition.

Feature
- Effective Oomycete Control Profile: Cymoxanil demonstrates activity against fungal pathogens belonging to the Peronosporales group, supporting its use in disease control strategies targeting late blight and downy mildew organisms.
- Locally Systemic Activity: The compound penetrates plant tissues after application, enabling both preventive and curative performance against early fungal infection stages.
- Formulation Compatibility: Cymoxanil is frequently combined with other protectant fungicides to improve residual effectiveness and broaden disease control coverage.
- Stable Solid Handling Form: Supplied as a solid with defined melting point and moderate density, making it suitable for storage, formulation development, and analytical reference use.
Application
- Agricultural Fungicide Development: Used as an active ingredient in crop protection products designed to control fungal diseases affecting potatoes, grapes, tomatoes, hops, and other vegetable crops.
- Plant Disease Management Programs: Applied as foliar or seed treatment formulations to manage late blight and downy mildew caused by Phytophthora, Plasmopara, and related pathogens.
- Agrochemical Research and Formulation Studies: Utilized in laboratory and formulation research focused on improving fungicide efficacy, combination strategies, and crop protection performance.
- Analytical and Quality Control Reference: Employed as a reference compound in agricultural chemistry and pesticide analysis workflows.
