Bisparn

Bisparn is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C12H10N2O2S. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and ethanol. Bisparn is primarily used as a fungicide and insecticide in agriculture. It acts by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the disruption of fungal cell walls and ultimately causing cell death. Bisparn is effective against a wide range of fungal and insect pests, making it a valuable tool in crop protection. However, its use is regulated to minimize environmental impact and ensure food safety. Bisparn is typically applied as a foliar spray or soil drench, depending on the target pest and the crop being treated. It is important to follow label instructions and guidelines for safe and effective use. Bisparn was first introduced in the 1970s and has since become a widely used pesticide in agriculture. Its chemical name is 2,2'-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-disulfonic acid disodium salt.
