Thiram is also used as a sulfur source and secondary accelerator the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers.
Thiram was traditionally used in apple and wine farming.
Thiram is also used as a seed protectant and to protect fruit, vegetable, ornamental, and turf crops from a variety of fungal diseases.

Thiram is a crystalline solid of low water solubility, used in agriculture and rubber industry, offering broad fungicidal and vulcanisation benefits.
Thiram is nearly immobile in clay soils or in soils of high organic matter.
Thiram is not expected to contaminate groundwater because of its in-soil half life of 15 days, in addition to its tendency to adhere to soil particles.
As a waste, thiram carries an EPA U244 code.
Thiram is a dimethyl dithiocarbamate compound used as a fungicide to prevent crop damage in the field and to protect harvested crops from deterioration in storage or transport.
Thiram is a seed treatment for chickpeas and lupins.
Thiram controls brown patch, damping off, dollar spot and fusarium patch in turf.
Thiram (CAS 137-26-8) is a dithiocarbamate fungicide..
Thiram acts by contact and protects foliage against fungal attack.
Thiram's IUPAC name is bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyl)disulfide.
Its formula is C6H12N2S4 and molecular weight is 240.4.
Thiram is only slightly soluble in water to 18 mg/L and has a log Kow of 1.73.
The current analytical practical quantitation limit (PQL) for thiram in water is 6 mg/L (NSW EPA 2000).
Thiram Liquid Fungicide offers effective control over a broad spectrum of fungal diseases in turf and other horticultural situations.
Containing 600 g/L thiram, this versatile formulation belongs to the dithiocarbamate class of fungicides - one of the most widely used and trusted groups in disease management worldwide.
USES and APPLICATIONS of THIRAM:
Thiram is also used as a seed protectant and to protect fruit, vegetable, ornamental, and turf crops from a variety of fungal diseases.
In addition, Thiram is used as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents, and deer.
Thiram is available as dust, flowable, wettable powder, water dispersible granules, and water suspension formulations, and in mixtures with other fungicides.
Thiram has been used in the treatment of human scabies, as a sunscreen, and as a bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap.
Thiram is used as a fungicide, ectoparasiticide to prevent fungal diseases in seed and crops and similarly as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents and deer.
Thiram is effective against Stem gall of coriander, damping off, smut of millet, neck rot of onion, etc.
Thiram has been used in the treatment of human scabies, as a sun screen and as a bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap.
Thiram is also used as a sulfur source and secondary accelerator the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers.
Thiram was traditionally used in apple and wine farming.
Since 2010 most thiram is applied to soybeans.
Thiram is used for the control of certain fungal diseases of turf and as a seed treatment.
Thiram is a member of the dithiocarbamate class of fungicides.
This group of fungicides has proven to be one of the most important and frequent control measures utilised today.
They are primarily used as foliar protectants, although Thiram is also commonly used as a seed treatment.
Due to their versatility, dithiocarbamates are able to provide excellent protection against a wide variety of fungal diseases with a low risk of resistance.
The low resistance risk is related to Thiram targeting multiple sites of action at a cellular level of the target disease complex.
As a fungicide: Thiram is used for seed dressing, soil treatment, control of seedling blight, smuts, damping-off, etc.
Thiram is used as a mammal repellent: protecting fruit trees, ornamentals from rodents, rabbits, deer etc.
In rubber industry: Thiram is used as a vulcanization accelerator for natural rubber and synthetic rubbers (e.g., tires, cables)
Thiram is also used historically in other niche uses (wood preservatives, animal repellent, etc) though many regulatory jurisdictions have restricted its use.
Thiram is used as a fungicide for grapes, vegetables, soft fruit, cotton, cereals and ornamentals and for seed treatment.
Thiram is also used for control of plant rust and storage diseases, and is often used in combination with insecticides or other fungicides.
Thiram may be used in dermatology as a scabicide 1.
Thiram is mainly used as a fungicide for plants and treatment for seeds.
Additionally, Thiram finds use in rubber vulcanization as an accelerator (as many thiuram derivatives do) owing to its disulfide structure.
Thiram is used economical crop protection from a wide range of fungal diseases.
Effective and widely used seed dressing fungicide on a range of crops, where Thiram provides good control of damping-off, seed and bulb decay, seed rot, seedling blights, and many other soil and seed-borne diseases.
Thiram due to its multiple sites of action can be used as an effective resistance management tool when rotated with other mode of action fungicides
Thiram is easy to pour low odour liquid suspension concentrate
As a liquid suspension, Thiram can be used both as a foliar protectant and as a seed treatment, providing flexible protection options for professional turf managers and horticultural operators.
Thiram’s multi-site mode of action delivers dependable control with a low risk of resistance development, making it an excellent component in integrated resistance management programs.
By targeting multiple cellular processes within the fungal pathogen, Thiram ensures reliable and long-lasting disease protection.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE FOR THIRAM FUNGICIDE:
For best results, apply Thiram Liquid Fungicide to turf in good nutritional condition.
Avoid repeat applications of Thiram on sensitive species such as fescues, bluegrass, and turf-type ryegrass without adequate recovery time.
Use only with liquid-application equipment and ensure the mixture remains well agitated throughout use.
Do not allow Thiram to dry in tanks or nozzles, as residue may reduce performance.
Clean all equipment thoroughly after use.
IDEAL FOR USE ON:
*Golf courses
*Sports fields
*Turf farms
*Parks and recreation areas
*Horticultural crops and nurseries
Thiram delivers proven, broad-spectrum protection and resistance management, helping turf and horticultural professionals maintain healthier, more resilient surfaces and crops all year round.
KEY BENEFITS OF THIRAM:
*Broad-spectrum disease control:
Effective against a wide range of common turf fungal pathogens.
*Resistance management tool:
Multi-site activity reduces the risk of resistance and complements rotation with other fungicide modes of action.
*Cost-effective protection:
Thiram delivers excellent disease suppression at an economical rate.
*Easy to use:
Simple to pour, mix, and apply with low odour for user comfort.
KEY PROPERTIES / BENEFITS & CHARACTERISTICS OF THIRAM:
Broad-spectrum fungicide: Thiram is effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens in seeds and commodities.
The disulfide structure helps in Thiram's function as vulcanization accelerator in rubber, providing good aging/heat resistance for rubber-based products.
Because of its relatively low water solubility and high soil adsorption, Thiram tends to remain in place rather than leach quickly (important for seed‐treatment uses).
However, benefit must be balanced with Thiram's hazards and regulatory restrictions in many markets.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THIRAM:
Thiram is a type of sulfur fungicide.
Thiram has been found to dissolve completely in chloroform, acetone, and ether.
Thiram is available as dust, flowable, wettable powder, water-dispersible granules, and water suspension formulations and in mixtures with other fungicides.

Density: ~1.29 g/cm³ (at 25 °C)
Melting point: ~155-156 °C (some sources list ~148-152 °C)
Boiling point / decomposition: It decomposes on heating (does not have a normal boiling point)
Solubility: Very poorly soluble in water (~30 mg/L at 20 °C)
Solubility in organic solvents: Soluble in benzene, chloroform (~230 g/L), acetone (~80 g/L);
slightly soluble in ether and ethanol (<10 g/L)
