Further to that you should note that the high cost of litigation over
crop damage due to contamination with atrizine and possible effects on
human health resulted in Dupont voluntarily ceased production of Benlate
in 2001. It is no longer manufactured in the US or approved for use on
food crops in the US.

Eh?

It was dropped because benlate was by far the dearest of the MBC's to
manufacture. One reason I've never used it. Sales plummetted once people
knew that it just broke down into carbendazim, the real active
ingredient.

You appear to be the only exponent of that particular explanation, which
is not mentioned on any website discussing the matter :-)
