Triorganotin compounds are widely used as industrial biocides, agricultural chemicals, wood
preservatives, and marine antifoulants. Although the in vitro fungicidal biological activity of
the triorganotins was recognized in the mid-1950's, commercial development was not seriously undertaken until the early l960's. The triorganotins that are most useful as biological control agents, in general, are the tributyltins,
triphenyltins, and tricyclohexyltins.
