Benzovindiflupyr
Last updated: 21/08/2024
(Also known as: Solatenol)

SUMMARY
Benzovindiflupyr is a fungicide active against a range of fungal diseases on cereals and other crops. It is not highly soluble in water nor is it volatile. However, depending on local conditions, it can be very persistent in soil and aqueous systems. Risk of leaching to groundwater is low. Its toxicity to biodiversity is high to moderate although it is not toxic to honeybees. It is highly toxic to mammals including humans if ingested but little else is known about its potential to harm human health.
Data alerts

The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
