Studies on the fate in plants of ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides and their decomposition products
article
A study was made of the fate in plants of ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicides and their decomposition products. Nabam (disodium ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) is known to decompose rapidly in aqueous environment, mainly to ethylenethiourea and ethylenethiuram monosulphide. Only ethylenethiourea was taken up by the roots and leaves of cucumber seedlings and by the roots of wheat seedlings. It was converted to a slight extent into an unknown compound. The fate of maneb (manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) and zineb (zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) does not differ essentially from the fate of nabam.
