Fungicides

Fungicides are chemical products used to combat fungi that cause specific diseases to cultivated plants. According to the method of interaction between fungicide and fungus, a distinction can be made between products with a preventive action, which stop the pathogen from getting into the plant and spreading, and products with a curative action, capable of controlling infestation after the pathogen has attacked the host plant.
