Procymidone is a pesticide. It is often used for killing unwanted ferns and nettles, and as a dicarboximide fungicide for killing fungi, for example as seed dressing, pre-harvest spray or post-harvest dip of lupins, grapes, stone fruit, strawberries.{{cite web|last=Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicine Authority|title=Chemical Review Program/Procymidone|url=http://www.apvma.gov.au/products/review/current/procymidone.php|access-date=9 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120126165201/http://www.apvma.gov.au/products/review/current/procymidone.php|archive-date=26 January 2012|url-status=dead}} It is a known endocrine disruptor (androgen receptor antagonist){{Citation needed|date=December 2019|reason=removed citation to predatory publisher content}} which interferes with the sexual differentiation of male rats.{{cite journal|vauthors=Ostby J, Kelce WR, Lambright C, Wolf CJ, Mann P, Gray LE |title=The fungicide procymidone alters sexual differentiation in the male rat by acting as an androgen-receptor antagonist in vivo and in vitro|journal=Toxicol Ind Health|year=1999|volume=15|issue=1–2|pages=80–93|pmid=10188193|doi=10.1191/074823399678846718}} It is considered to be a poison.{{cite web|last=Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicine Authority, Chemical Review Program|title=procymidone_poster.pdf|url=http://www.apvma.gov.au/products/review/docs/procymidone_poster.pdf|access-date=9 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227172545/http://www.apvma.gov.au/products/review/docs/procymidone_poster.pdf|archive-date=27 February 2012|url-status=dead}}
