Carbendazim (methyl benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate) is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide used to control a broad range of diseases on cereals, fruits, cotton, tobacco, turf, ornamentals and vegetables. It is also used in post-harvest food storage, as a seed pre-planting treatment and as a timber treatment fungicide.
In addition to being a fungicide in its own right, carbendazim is a metabolite of thiophanate-methyl. Thiophanate breaks down rapidly in the environment to carbendazim and the use of thiophanate-methyl can lead to residues of carbendazim in treated commodities.
