Fungicides

Fungicides (Latin fungi = fungi, caedere = to kill) are chemical or biological agents that kill fungi or their spores or prevent their growth. They belong to the group of pesticides. The first synthetically produced fungicides were used as early as 1885: Bordeaux broth(downy mildew), copper sulphate(botrytis) and sulphur-lime broth (powdery mildew). Fungicides are the most commonly used agents in viticulture today. They are used in viticulture as plant protection agents. The various types are categorised according to their effect into the groups of protective (preventive), curative (combating) and eradicative (eradicating, killing) agents.
