Hexaconazole is a broad-spectrum systemic triazole fungicide used for the control of many fungi particularly Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes. Major consumption is in Asian countries and it is used mainly for the control of rice sheath blight in China, India, Vietnam, and parts of East Asia. It is also used for control of diseases in various fruits and vegetables.[citation needed]
Physical and Chemical Properties[edit]
Hexaconazole has a density of 1.29 g/cm3 (25℃), vapour pressure of 0.018 mPa (20℃), Henry constant of 3.33 × 10-4 Pa m3/mol and Partition coefficient (n-octanol and water):logP of 3.9 (20℃). It's solubility in water is 0.017 g/L (20℃) and it has a pH of 6.8 as a 1% solution (25℃). It is stable to hydrolysis and photolysis in water.
Toxicology[edit]
The acute oral toxicity LD50 of Hexaconazole is 2189 mg/kg for male rats and 6071 mg/kg for female rats. The acute percutaneous LD50 of Hexaconazole for rats is > 2000 mg/kg. It is a mild irritant to eyes and non irritating to skin on rabbits. It is a moderate skin sensitiser to guinea pigs. The inhalation LC50 for rats is > 5.9 mg/L.
Environmental Profile[edit]
Ecotoxicology[edit]
Its acute oral and contact LD50 for honeybees is > 0.1 mg/bee, the acute oral and contact LD50 for honeybees is > 0.1 mg/bee. In birds, its acute oral LD for mallard ducks > 4000 mg/kg.
Environmental Fate[edit]
It is readily excreted by mammals, with no significant retention in organs or tissues. It rapidly degrads in soils in laboratory tests.
