Benlate is an alternative term for the fungicide benomyl, a systemic benzimidazole once widely sprayed on fruits, vegetables, and cereals against a broad spectrum of fungal diseases. Reproductive-toxicity concerns led to its withdrawal in the EU and other markets, and manufacturing ceased amid high-profile litigation. The name lingers in historical residue data, regulatory archives, and poisoning case reports from its decades of use. Encountering Benlate in older documents is therefore a signal to translate it to benomyl and to recognise a compound whose regulatory history illustrates how toxicological reassessment can end the career of a once-dominant crop-protection product.
