General description

Carbendazim is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide that targets a broad spectrum of fungi pathogens through inhibition of mitotic microtubule formation and cell division.

Carbendazim is not approved in the European Union.
Carbendazim has to be monitored in the Multiannual Control Programmes for Pesticides Residues (MACP), run within the EU and EFTA in/on products of plant origin. Maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been set according to Reg (EU) No 559/2011 for Carbendazim for various products of plant and animal origin from 0.01 to 2 mg/kg.

Carbendazim is widely applied in agriculture, horticulture, forest, and gardening to protect plants such as banana, mango, strawberries, oranges, pineapples, pomes, cereals, sugar beet, fodder beet, rapeseed, ornamental plants, medicinal herbs, and turf grasses. In addition, carbendazim is also used in the paint, textile, paper, and leather industries. Due to its severe toxicity and long-term retention in nature, carbendazim is banned in Australia, most of the European Union (EU), and USA.

Carbendazim was first included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC in 2006 by Commission Directive 2006/135/EC. The MRLs of carbendazim in the EU, Japan, and China were 0.1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg, respectively.

Application

The analytical standard can be used for the following:
  • Systemic evaluation of the residue and the health risk of carbendazim from the tea garden to brewed tea
  • Analysis of carbendazim in a major European river, effluents discharge and assessing the potential sources of carbendazim in the aqueous environment
  • Voltammetric determination of carbendazim in orange juice by glassy carbon electrode modified with hybrid material
  • To assess and compare the differential influence of tebuconazole and carbendazim, individually and combined, on soil microbial activity
  • Quantitative detection of carbendazim in citrus fruit and cabbage samples by a photothermal assay based on a thermometer readout

Carbendazim (methyl 1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate) residue in tea is a public concern. The large gap in the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for carbendazim in tea makes it difficult to conduct pesticide management. Therefore, a systemic evaluation of the residue and the health
