What are the examples of fungicide?
A fungicide with broad-spectrum activity is effective against a large variety of pathogenic fungi. Examples of broad-spectrum fungicides include captan, sulfur, and mancozeb. Some fungicides have a very narrow spectrum of activity; for example, mefenoxam (group 4) is effective only against oomycetes like Phytophthora.
How many types of fungicides are there?
There are 47 groups of fungicides with distinct, single-site mode of action.

What are the different fungicide groups?
In general, the first few groups are active on Botrytis and similar fungi (Groups 1, 2, 12, 9, 17 and 7). The next few groups are active on oomycetes (groups 4, P7, 40, 49, 22, 27, 28 and 43). Groups 3, 5, 11, U6, 50 and 13 are active on powdery mildews and many other fungi.
Which element is used as fungicide?
Type of chemical: inorganic or organic. Copper and sulfur are still widely used. Most other fungicides used today are organic compounds and thus contain carbon.
What are Eradicant fungicides?
What is an Eradicant Fungicide? Eradicant fungicides are sometimes called curative fungicides, though there is a slight difference: a curative fungicide is for plants that are showing no visible symptoms of the fungus, while an eradicant fungicide is for plants that are already showing symptoms.
Are fungicides toxic to humans?
The acute toxicity of fungicides to humans is generally considered to be low, but fungicides can be irritating to the skin and eyes.

How are fungicides classified?
Fungicides can be broadly grouped based on their (i) mode of action (ii) general use and (iii) chemical composition. As the name suggests, protectant fungicides are prophylactic in their behaviour. Fungicide which is effective only if applied prior to fungal infection is called a protectant, eg., Zineb, Sulphur.
What are Group 11 fungicides?
The strobilurin, or QoI fungicides (FRAC group 11) are extremely useful in controlling a broad spectrum of common vegetable pathogens. You may know some of strobilurins as azoxystrobin (Quadris), trifloxystrobin (Flint), pyraclostrobin (Cabrio), or Pristine (pyraclostrobin + boscalid, 11 + 7).
Can fungicide hurt plants?
One side effect of fungicides is phytotoxicity, or a toxic effect on beneficial plants. For instance, the fungicide azoxystrobin, frequently used on grapes, can kill some apple varieties, while trifloxystrobin is harmful to certain grape cultivars but not others.
