INTRODUCTION

Carboxin is a systemic anilide fungicide. It is used as a seed treatment for control of smut, rot, and blight on barley, oats, rice, cotton, vegetables, corn and wheat. It is also used to control fairy rings on turf grass. The product may be used to prevent the formation of these diseases or may be used to cure existing plant diseases (9).

Carboxin is a general use pesticide.

ACUTE TOXICITY

Carboxin is a slightly toxic compound and carries the signal word CAUTION on the label. Symptoms of acute poisoning can include vomiting and headache. Recovery is very rapid if the exposed individual is treated quickly. One study reported a rat oral LD50 of 430 mg/kg. Since chronic studies have been successfully completed at doses higher than this, the LD50 of 3,820 mg/kg which was reported in another study seems more reasonable  and is consistent with the oral LD50 of 3,550 mg/kg in mice.

The compound produces very little skin irritation, however it can seriously irritate the eyes. Rabbits which had been exposed to carboxin on their skin for three weeks showed no irritation.
