Overview

Acibenzolar-S-methyl, also known as S-Methyl 1,2,3-benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioate, is a fungicide used to induce systemic acquired resistance in plants. It is not directly toxic to fungi but activates the plant's natural defense mechanisms.

Uses

Acibenzolar-S-methyl is used in agriculture as a seed treatment or for direct spraying on crops. It is effective in protecting against future disease development rather than curing established diseases. It is registered for use on crops such as cotton, sunflower, sorghum, and a variety of vegetables.

Regulatory

In the United States, Acibenzolar-S-methyl is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). In Europe, it is monitored to ensure that residues in food comply with limits set by the European Food Safety Authority.

Monitoring

There are monitoring programs in place to ensure compliance with regulatory limits for residues of Acibenzolar-S-methyl in food. This is crucial for maintaining food safety and environmental health.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Acibenzolar-S-methyl has low toxicity to mammals, with an LD50 of over 2000 mg/kg in rats (oral). However, it can cause moderate eye irritation. First aid information is provided with the product label.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

While Acibenzolar-S-methyl is generally considered safe for mammals, its impact on other wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms, is monitored to prevent environmental contamination.

Safety Measures

Users must follow the precautionary statements and safety guidelines provided on the product label to minimize risks to human health and the environment. This includes wearing protective equipment and ensuring proper storage and disposal of the product.

Regulation

Acibenzolar-S-methyl is subject to strict regulatory controls to ensure its safe use. Compliance with label instructions is mandatory, and failure to do so is a federal offense in the United States.
