IUPAC name manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) (polymeric) complex with zinc salt
Chemical Abstracts name [[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioato]](2-)]manganese mixture with [[1,2-ethanediylbis[carbamodithioato]](2-)]zinc 
CAS RN [8018-01-7], formerly [8065-67-6]; number also applies to other mixed manganese and zinc ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) complexes 


Product Description
Mancozeb is a mixture of Maneb and Zineb, a manganese and zinc (1:1) complex mixture with the ethylene bis(dithiocarbamate) anionic ligand. Mancozeb is a foliate fungicide used to protect crops in agriculture. Mancozeb has a broader and more effective fungacidal activity than either of its component on their own. Mancozeb also significantly enhances the copper activity against several bacteriosis.
