Method update: new method code for dithianon analysis requests

Until July 2nd, you have to select the actual method name PES# in extranet and then tick dithianon. Starting from July 3rd, the method name PES# will disappear in extranet from the list of options.

About dithianon

  • Dithianon (molecular formula: C14H4N2O2S2) is a synthetic compound of the quinine family. It acts as a conventional, protective, broad spectrum fungicide in apples, pears and many other fruits. 
  • Dithianon is applied as a foliar spray, and is surface acting. Dithianon adheres well to the surface of the leaves, and once dried gives good persistence and is relatively rainfast. It is also possible for the compound to be reactivated on the surface of the plant by rain and run off, resulting in a certain level of protection to new growth.
