Cyflufenamid is a phenyl-acetamide that is used as both a protective and curative measure against powdery mildew that attacks outdoor ornamental plants, as well as cucurbit vegetables, pome fruit, low growing berries and grapes. It was first registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in June 2012.

The aerobic soil half-life of the fungicide is between 7 and 408 days. It is stable in anaerobic soil. Its adsorption rate is between 1,934 and 3,087 milligrams per liter, and is considered to be persistent with low mobility in the soil.

Cyflufenamid may potentially contaminate both surface water and groundwater through spray drift and runoff, and can harm both fish and aquatic invertebrates. The EPA considers the fungicide likely to be carcinogenic, but its chronic population adjusted dose should help avert any carcinogenic effects. Occupational exposure to cyflufenamid presents a low acute toxicity risk for workers, but protective eyewear is needed to prevent moderate eye irritation in case of contact. Long-sleeve shirts, pants, socks and shoes are also advisable during application to protect the skin.

Cyflufenamid has the chemical formula C20H17F5N2O2. Its International Chemical Identifier is InChI=1/C20H17F5N2O2/c21-15-9-8-14(20(23,24)25)17(18(15)22)19(27-29-11-13-6-7-13)26-16(28)10-12-4-2-1-3-5-12/h1-5,8-9,13H,6-7,10-11H2,(H,26,27,28)/f/h26H/b27-19-.
