Tridemorph is a fungicide used to control Erysiphe graminis. It was developed by BASF in the 1960s who use the trade name Calixin. The World Health Organization has categorised it as a Class II "moderately hazardous" pesticide because it is believed harmful if swallowed and can cause irritation to skin and eyes.[1]
One theory for the cause of the Hollinwell incident is that it might have been caused by tridemorph toxicity.[2]
