Benomyl

/ˌbɛnəˈmaɪl/ noun

Definition

A synthetic fungicide chemical once widely used in agriculture to prevent fungal diseases on crops.

Etymology

A coined chemical name combining elements of benzimidazole chemistry; created in the 1960s by DuPont as a new agricultural compound. The name follows modern pharmaceutical naming conventions.

Kelly Says

Benomyl was the perfect fungicide until it was discovered to possibly cause birth defects—it was banned in the EU in 2001, showing how chemistry that seems miraculous can suddenly become forbidden.
