Fungicide

A fungicide is a substance used to prevent or eliminate fungal infections in plants. Fungi can cause diseases that damage crops, trees, and ornamental plants, leading to reduced yield and quality. Fungicides work by targeting specific parts of the fungal cells, preventing their growth and reproduction. They are often applied as sprays or dusts on plants at risk or when early signs of infection appear. Used responsibly, fungicides help maintain healthy plants and ensure agricultural productivity, but overuse or misuse can lead to resistant fungi and environmental concerns.
