(R)-flutriafol
(Not known by any other names)
SUMMARY
Little data is available for the isomer but is available for the isomeric mixture. Flutriafol is a commonly used curative and preventative fungicide. It is moderately soluble in water, tends to be persistent in soil systems and is often stable in aquatic systems. It is moderately mobile and so may leach to groundwaters under certain conditions. It is moderatley toxic to most biodiversity including honeybees and earthworms. It may be a development and/or reproduction toxin,
