Ethanolamine salt of pyrazosulfonamide, commonly known as oxythioquinox or etoxazole, is a type of synthetic fungicide widely used in agriculture to control various plant diseases such as leaf spot, blight, and powdery mildew.

The chemical compound has been shown to possess high efficacy against a broad spectrum of fungi that affect crops including cereals, vegetables, fruits and ornamental plants.

However, the extensive use of oxythioquinox has raised concerns about its potential impact on human health and the environment due to its residual properties and possible accumulation in soil and water bodies.

Furthermore, resistance management strategies are becoming increasingly important as some fungal populations have developed resistance to this class of fungicides necessitating careful rotation with other types of fungicides.

Research into new formulations and delivery methods for oxythioquinox continues to advance our understanding of its potential applications while also addressing the challenges posed by environmental sustainability and public health safety concerns.
