Introduction and Biological Investigation of Propamocarb Chemical Pesticide Effects

Today, pesticides are widely used to control plant pests and are one of the most important factors affecting soil, water and environment pollution. Pesticides and theirenvironmentaltion products may remain in the environment and affect the ecosystem and biodiversity of plants, animals and aquatic organisms. In addition, the degradation of pesticides can lead to the production of harmful metabolites. One of the pesticides widely used to kill plant pathogenic fungi is propamocarb. This chemical poison is a systemic fungicide. Propamocarb in large amounts can reduce the mitotic index in mice, cause behavioral disorders and accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis. Using large amounts of this poison in plants causes yellow spots on the leaves and also reduces the antioxidant capacity of the plant. In aquatic animals, including zebrafish, it can cause liver disorders and intestinal microbiota dysbiosis. In this article, we first introduce propamocarb as one of the widely used fungicides. Then we will examine its effect on mammals and aquatic animals, as well as its durability on different parts of the plant. Although this chemical fungicide is one of the poisons approved by the regulatory organizations of different countries, including Iran, but with the use of new technologies such as nanomaterials, it may be possible to reduce its consumption.
