Where can it be bought? Is it wettable like Captan?

Thanks;

It isn't made anymore. yhiophanate-methyl (Cleary's 3336, Topsin, etc) is the only benzomidazol available today.

What are you trying to do?

Benlate, containing Benomyl, was banned in this country some years ago. Apparently, a high percentage of male opperators of the equipment used to spray Benlate farthered children who were either born totally blind or became totally blind within just a year or so from birth.

YIKES!! I never heard that one.

Here in the US, Dupont decided to maufacture Benomyl in the same plant they use for Atrizine. My former employer had to buy a portion of 6 acres of Orchids from a Florida grower who received & used Atrazine tainted Benomyl. No sooner were the courts ready to settle the first contamination case than it happened again. Since Bayer was knocking sales out of the box with Bayleton (better fungicide), Dupont quietly removed Benomyl & settled the remaining suits.
