Fungicides

Factors Contributing to Fungal Diseases

Fungi spores can be spread by wind, water, wildlife, and other methods—and thrive in moist, humid conditions. Once present in a crop, spores can enter plants through natural openings or damaged plant tissue.

The appearance of mildew, mold, leaf spots, abnormal growth, decaying plant tissue, and root rot are all indications of fungal infection. If not prevented, or if left untreated, all diseases can eventually stress plants to the point of yield loss.

Disease Prevention in Your Crop Protection Plan

Our trusted solutions manage fungal diseases in two distinct ways…

• Preventive: Contact fungicides are applied to plants before infection sets in, forming a protective barrier that prevents spores from germinating.
• Curative: Systemic fungicides are absorbed by plant tissue to help stop an infection or to slow the progression of a disease after it starts.

To maximize protection, it’s best to fight diseases using preventive measures, or by taking action at the very first sign of disease.

It’s also important to minimize the ability of fungi to develop a resistance to pesticides. Our team recommends an integrated crop-protection plan that utilizes multiple modes of action to achieve maximum disease prevention.
