| Chemical Properties | solid |
| Uses | Agricultural fungicide. |
| Uses | Flutriafol is used to control a wide variety of leaf and ear diseases in cereals. It is also used in seed treatment formulations to control the major soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of cereals. |
| Uses | Flutriafol is a systemic fungicide of the triazole class. Flutriafol has broad spectrum fungicidal activity and is used to control effectively cereal powdery mildew, cloud disease, leaf spot disease a nd rust disease. |
| Definition | ChEBI: 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanol is a tertiary alcohol that is ethanol in which one of the hydrogens at position 1 is replaced by an p-fluorophenyl group, the other hydrogen at position 1 is replaced by a p-fluorophenyl group, and one of the hydrogens at position 2 is replaced by a 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl group. It is a member of triazoles, a tertiary alcohol and a member of monofluorobenzenes. |
| Metabolic pathway | Flutriafol is stable to hydrolysis and to light and it is persistent in soils. In crops, the metabolites identified were derivatives of triazole. |
| Degradation | Flutriafol, 1, is stable to hydrolysis at pH 5,7 and 9 in water at 50 °C over a period of 30 days in the dark.
[14C-friazole]Flutriafoaln d [14C-carbinol]flutriafol were applied at a rate equivalent to 94 g ai ha-1 to samples of dry sandy loam soil distributed as a thin layer on 10 cm diameter glass plates. Samples were exposed to natural sunlight for 30 days or to alternating periods of ‘black light’ and darkness for 7 days. Recovery was 60-47% of applied radioactivity after 7 days artificial illumination and 74-85% after exposure to natural sunlight. All degradation products accounted for ＜5 %of the total applied radioactivity (PSD, 1996). |
