Description

Iprodione is a colorless, odorless crystal. It is a dicarboximide contact fungicide used to control a wide variety of crop diseases by inhibiting the germination of spores and the growth of the fungal mat (mycelium). The primary use of iprodione as soil treatment is for control of white rot disease (Sclerotium cepivorum) of onions. Its half-life in most soils is estimated to be 14 days. Studies on rats show that iprodione is slightly toxic by ingestion. Current evidence on the carcinogenicity of iprodione is inconclusive. The pathway is based on Athiel et al., 1995.
