Propamocarb is a systemicfungicide used for control of soil, root and leaf disease caused byoomycetes. It is used by watering or spraying. Propamocarb is absorbed and distributed through the plant's tissue.
Propamocarb has fungicidal activity only against oomycetes.
Propamocarb has low generaltoxicity, and almost noteratogenicity orneurotoxicity formammals. It is not acarcinogen normutagen.[1][2] Propamocarb is not susceptible to formation ofresistant diseases. It is fully metabolized by plants and aquatic bacteria in a few weeks, so it is not a major ecological threat. It carries the risk of skin sensitization. OralLD50 is 2900 mg/kg for male rats and 2000 mg/kg for female rats.[2]
In one study conducted ontobacco,cucumber andspinach, using propamocarb synthesized out ofcarbon C14radionuclide, researchers stated that propamocarb is decomposed down to carbon dioxide and then incorporated into the plant's natural compounds,[2] such asamino acids.
