Carbendazim is widely used as a fungicide in agriculture to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases. It is effective against pathogens that cause blights, rots, wilts, and molds in various crops including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It works by inhibiting fungal cell division through disruption of microtubule assembly, which stops the growth and spread of the fungus. It is commonly applied to control diseases such as banana Panama disease, rice sheath blight, and citrus green mold. Due to its systemic nature, carbendazim is absorbed by plant tissues and provides both preventive and curative action. It is also used post-harvest on fruits and vegetables to prevent mold development during storage and transportation. In addition to agriculture, carbendazim finds use in industrial settings, such as in wood preservation and in some paints and coatings to prevent fungal degradation. However, its use is regulated in many countries due to concerns about toxicity and potential environmental impact.
