Documented Uses

• Used as an agricultural fungicide (seed treatment); [ACGIH]
• Fungicide, insecticide, seed treatment/protectant
• Preparation: R. Nyfeler, Jl ehrenfreund, European Patent Office 206999; eidem, United States of America patent 4705800 (1986, 1987 both to Ciba-Geigy).
• Fludioxonil (announced in 1991) is used as seed treatment for control of Gibberella in rice and to control Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Tilletia, Helminthosporium, and Septoria in cereal and noncereal crops.
• A feeding study was conducted in which three groups of three dairy cows received 0.55 ppm, 1.6 ppm or 5.5 ppm fludioxonil in the diet for 28-30 days. Residues of fludioxonil and metabolites, determined as CGA-192155 (2,2-difluorobenzo[1,1]dioxole-4-carboxylic acid), were quantifiable only at the highest feeding level (5.5 ppm)... No quantifiable residue was found in the tissues of ruminants at levels 60 times (cows) and 80 times (beef cattle) the calculated dietary burden. Fludioxonil and metabolites were detected
• The dermal absorption of fludioxonil, excluding material bound to the skin, is low in rats in vivo (< 5%) and in human skin in vitro (< 0.5%). In a study of dermal penetration in rats in vitro, values for dermal absorption at low levels of application were comparable to those obtained in a study performed in vivo (< 2%), but at higher levels significantly overestimated absorption in vivo (38%).
