Is thiram fungicide available in the USA?

Post by Jaybizzle »

Hi,

I see it’s available in Australia and Asia, but don’t see it in the USA. I want to use it to prevent damp-off on succulent/caudex seeds (not cactus).

Thanks.

Thiram is not available for home use in the US, though it is used by farmers.

Thanks. I asked because it looks like thiram is still being used to treat vegetable seed from USA—so I guess only the big seed corporations can access it.

I'd ask at a landscaper supply store. They may have it, but it may be only in huge quantities.

Restricted pesticides are generally available only to those who have a commercial pesticide applicator license.
