Overview

Epoxiconazole is a fungicide active ingredient from the class of azoles. It was developed to protect crops by inhibiting the metabolism of fungi cells, thereby preventing the growth of mycelia and limiting the production of conidia. Introduced by BASF SE in 1993, it is used in various products targeting numerous pathogens in crops such as cereals, soybeans, bananas, rice, coffee, turnips, and beets.

Uses

Epoxiconazole is primarily used to combat cereal diseases like leaf blotch (Septoria tritici) and rust (Puccinia triticina), which can cause significant yield losses. It also exhibits a strong anti-feeding effect on the keratin-digesting common clothes moth larvae (Tineola bisselliella).

Regulatory

In Europe, Epoxiconazole has been withdrawn from the approval process under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, effectively banning its use in pesticides. The harmonized classification under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 indicates concerns for human health and the environment.

Monitoring

Monitoring the presence of Epoxiconazole in food and environmental samples is crucial for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories rely on high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable residue analysis.

Health Impact

Epoxiconazole is suspected of causing cancer, may damage fertility or the unborn child, and is very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. These health concerns necessitate stringent monitoring and regulation.

Environmental Impact

Epoxiconazole poses significant risks to the environment, particularly aquatic ecosystems. Its long-lasting effects on aquatic life highlight the need for careful management and monitoring of its use.

Safety Measure

Proper safety measures should be implemented when handling Epoxiconazole to mitigate its potential health and environmental risks. This includes using personal protective equipment and adhering to regulatory guidelines.
