Flutolanil is a benzanilide fungicide.1 It is active against a panel of 241 field isolates of the plant pathogenic fungus R. solani when grown in flutolanil-enriched growth media (IC50s = 0.05-0.5 mg/L). Flutolanil (0.34-1.95 µg/g) inhibits R. solani hyphal growth and infection cushion formation on rice plant leaf sheaths.2 It is toxic to zebrafish embryos, larvae, and adults (LC50s = 3.91, 5.47, and 2.70 mg/L of tank water, respectively).3 Formulations containing flutolanil have been used to control fungal infections on rice crops.
