Fungicides

Fungicides

Fungicides are pesticides that kill or prevent fungi and their spores from growing. They can be used to control fungi that cause plant damage, such as rusts, mildews, and blights. In other situations, they could be used to control mould and mildew. Fungicides function in a variety of ways, but the majority of them either damage fungal cell membranes or interfere with energy production within fungal cells.

Fungicide residues on food for human consumption have been discovered, mostly from post-harvest treatments. Some fungicides are hazardous to human health, such as vinclozolin, which is no longer in use. Ziram is also a fungicide that is toxic to humans over time and fatal if consumed. A variety of fungicides are also used in human medicine.

Fungicides are used in agriculture as well as to combat fungal infections in animals. Chemicals used to control oomycetes, which are not fungi, are also referred to as fungicides because oomycetes infect plants using the same mechanisms as fungi.
