Dichlone (trade names Phygon and Quintar) is a fungicide and algicide of the quinone class. It is a general use fungicide applied to fruits, vegetables, field crops, ornamentals, and residential and commercial outdoor areas.^[1] It is also used to control blue algae.^[2]

Dichlone is not persistent in soil and has moderate mammalian toxicity.^[2]

Dichlone can be manufactured by the chlorination and oxidation of naphthalene.^[3]
