Enilconazole (synonyms imazalil, chloramizole) is a fungicide widely used in agriculture, particularly in the growing of citrus fruits.
[4] In 1983, enilconazole was first introduced by Janssen Pharmaceutica and it has since consistently been registered as an antifungal postharvest agent.
Today, it continues to be utilized as an agricultural aid for its contribution to maintaining crop integrity and production output.
[citation needed] Enilconazole is found on a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but it is primarily used on tubers for storage.
[6] In 1984, when enilconazole was initially used for seed treatment, barley was a main target to mitigate crop loss due to disease.
