Abstract

AbstractThe antifungal action of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate and of zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate in the presence of the dithiocarboxylic acid derivatives I and III as well as of some known metal‐complexing agents was tested on Botrytis allii and Alternaria tenuis as test organisms. Addition of some of the investigated compounds to zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate increased its antifungal activity by several orders of magnitude against Botrytis but not against Alternaria. This action is not structure specific as it can be produced by complexing agents of various chemical structure. Under the same conditions the antifungal action of zinc ethylenebisdithiocarbamate could not be increased.
