Zoxamide is a fungicide belonging to the benzamide class, primarily used to control Oomycete fungi, such as Phytophthora and Plasmopara species. It is most commonly applied in the cultivation of crops like:
∙ Grapes (to prevent downy mildew)
∙ Potatoes and tomatoes (for late blight control)
∙ Vegetables like cucurbits
Zoxamide is a contact fungicide, meaning it works on the surface of plant tissues by inhibiting tubulin polymerization in fungal cells, which disrupts cell division and growth. It is usually applied as a foliar spray and is often combined with other fungicides (e.g., mancozeb) for broader spectrum and resistance management.

Impurities in zoxamide arise primarily from the synthetic process, storage conditions, or formulation components. These impurities are strictly monitored, especially in technical-grade and formulated products, to meet FAO and EPA standards.
