Mefentrifluconazole (Ref: BAS 750F)
Last updated: 17/07/2024
(Not known by any other names)

SUMMARY
Mefentrifluconazole is a conazole fungicide used to control disease on cereals. It has a low aqueous solubility, low volatility and, based on its its chemical properties, it would not be expected to leach to groundwater but it may persist in some soil systems. Mefentrifluconazole has a low mammalian toxicity. No significant health effects have been identified but it may be a skin sensitiser. It demonstrates a moderate level of toxicity to most species, the main exception is honeybees where the toxicity is low.
