ABSTRACT

This feature article reviews the broad-spectrum fungicide mancozeb. Introduced in 1962, it still plays a significant role in the world fungicide market. Mancozeb possesses a number of key attributes that have contributed toward its development into a globally important tool in modern chemical-based plant disease management. These attributes are discussed from the perspective of both public and private research.
