Fungicide




Fungicides can either be contact or systemic. A contact fungicide kills fungi when sprayed on its surface; a systemic fungicide has to be absorbed by the plant.

Fungicide Residues have been found on food for human consumption, mostly from post-harvest treatments.Pesticide Chemistry and Biosciene edited by G.T Brooks and T.R Roberts. 1999. Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry Some fungicides are dangerous to human Health , such as Vinclozolin , which has now been removed from use.Hrelia ''et al.'' 1996 - The genetic and non-genetic toxicity of the fungicide Vinclozolin. Mutagenesis Volume 11 445-453

Like other Pesticide s, fungicides can induce Pesticide Resistance . Equivalently, Antifungal Drug s can induce Drug Resistance .
