Molecular Formula
C15H16ClF2N3O
Molecular Structure
Category
Activity
Fungicide.
Diflumetorim has protectant activity and should be applied before or in the early stages of infestation for white rust (Puccinia horiana) control. It also has some curative activity. The product inhibits fungal growth from germination to formation of conidiophores.

Diflumetorim is active against fungi resistant to sterol biosynthesis inhibitors, dithiocarbamates, benzimidazole, quinoxalines and antibiotics. It has shown no phytotoxicity to roses and chrysanthemums.

Fate in soil:
In laboratory aerobic soil studies, diflumetorim is metabolised slowly and has a half-life of 4.5 months. 33-51% of the applied parent was mineralised to carbon dioxide after 44 weeks. The major metabolite (<10% of applied radioactivity) was diflumetorim hydroxylated at the 2-position on the pyrimidyl ring. Diflumetorim has low potential for leaching to ground water (Koc = 572-1710 on 4 Japanese soils). In field dissipation studies in Japan, the product has a DT50 of 60-100 days.

Fate in aquatic systems:
Diflumetorim is stable to hydrolysis in water at pH 4 - 9. It is degraded photolytically in water with a DT50 of 151 hours in sterile water and 168 hours in river water.
