STUDIES ON THE MECHANISM OF FUNGICIDAL ACTION OF DISODIUM ETHYLENE BISDITHIOCARBAMATE (NABAM)

Abstract
A crude aeration precipitate of nabam was found to possess a relatively high order of fungicidal activity. Evidence is presented to show that this activity can be attributed to ethylene thiuram nonosulphide, both monomer and polymer. This substance was demonstrated on the foliage of plants sprayed with nabam and could account for its protective fungicidal action.
