Best Answer

sodium metabisulfite known to be fungicidal when used alone at high concentrations. sodium metabisulfite has potential undesirable side-effects:

1) sodium metabisulfite emits sulfur dioxide at acidic pHs creating a potentially toxic atmosphere for humans, they can contribute to acid rain development.

2) Residues of sodium sulfite can remain on treated plants. Many people are allergic to sodium sulfite in foods so metabisulfite-containing fungicides should not be applied immediately before harvest.
