Flutolanil is a benzanilide fungicide.¹It is active against a panel of 241 field isolates of the plant pathogenic fungusR. solaniwhen grown in flutolanil-enriched growth media (IC₅₀s = 0.05-0.5 mg/L). Flutolanil (0.34-1.95 µg/g) inhibitsR. solanihyphal growth and infection cushion formation on rice plant leaf sheaths.²It is toxic to zebrafish embryos, larvae, and adults (LC₅₀s = 3.91, 5.47, and 2.70 mg/L of tank water, respectively).³Formulations containing flutolanil have been used to control fungal infections on rice crops.
