What is Amobam?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Amobam is a dithiocarbamate salt resulting from the formal reaction of ethylenebis(dithiocarbamic acid) with 2 mol eq. of ammonia. A water-soluble crystalline solid, it is a fungicide used to protect fruit, vegetable, and field crops against a wide spectrum of fungal diseases. Mixing amobam with zinc sulfate affords the fungicide zineb. It has a role as an antifungal agrochemical. It is an ammonium salt and a dithiocarbamate salt. It contains an ammonium and an ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate).
