Identification
Common NameQuintozene
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionQuintozene, also known as pentachloronitrobenzene, is a registered fungicide formally derived from nitrobenzene used as soil fungicide on lawns and ornamental crops, as a seed treatment of field crops and vegetables (e.g., barley, corn, cotton, oats, rice, and wheat), and as a slime inhibitor in industrial waters. It is also used to prevent the formation of slime in industrial waters. It is either an off-white or yellow solid, depending on its purity, with a musty odor. Residual amounts of the compound and its metabolites can be found in crops. The degradation products, PCA and PCTA have been found in farming soils and in river sediments. Its mode of action is through contact and interferes with mitotic division.
