Fungicides
Fungicides prevent and cure diseases which can have severe adverse effects on crop yields and quality. The main markets are fruit and vegetables, cereals and rice. Overall growth is expected worldwide and in developing markets in the fruit and vegetables sector.
Plant diseases are caused by a great variety of pathogens. Accordingly, this requires many products used in combination or series to control the full range of problems in ways that minimize the chance of resistance building up.
During recent years, among few new active ingredients, an innovative generation of fungicides - strobilurins - has been developed and introduced in order to improve the control in the key plant diseases like downy mildew, powdery mildew, late blight, rynchosporium, net blotch and eyespot.
