Fate

Toxicology
Mammals: Acute oral LD50 for male rats 21,000, female rats 21,200, male mice 27,300, female mice 22,500 mg/kg (polyoxin B); for male and female rats and mice >15,000 mg/kg (polyoxin D). Acute percutaneous LD50 for rats >20,000 mg/kg (polyoxin B). Non-irritant to mucous membranes and skin (rats). In 2-year feeding trials, no-effect level for rats and mice was >48,000 mg/kg diet (polyoxin B); for rats >50,000 mg/kg diet, and for mice >40,000 mg/kg diet (polyoxin D). Fish: LC50 (48 hours) for carp >40 mg/l (polyoxins B and D).

Uses

Mode of action: Systemic fungicide with protective action. Acts by inhibition of cell wall chitin synthesis.

Uses: Polyoxin B: Control of Alternaria spp. and powdery mildews in apples and pears; Botrytis cinerea in vines and aubergines; powdery mildews in roses, chrysanthemums, capsicums, and melons; blight of carnations; powdery mildew, brown spot, and grey mould in tobacco; powdery mildew and grey mould in strawberries; leaf mould, early blight and grey mould in tomatoes; powdery mildew, grey mould, gummosis, Sclerotinia rot, and Corynespora melonis in cucumbers; Alternaria blight in carrots; purple blotch in leeks; etc. Polyoxin D zinc salt: Control of sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) in rice; canker in apples and pears; Rhizoctonia solani, Drechslera, Bipolaris, Curvularia, and Helminthosporium spp. in lawn turf; etc.
