Main Types Of Fungicides

Bactericides, also known as biocides, bactericides and algicides, microbicides, etc., usually refer to chemical agents that can effectively control or kill microorganisms in water systems - bacteria, fungi and algae. Mainly divided into two kinds of agricultural fungicides and industrial fungicides.
1. Agricultural fungicides
It is a class of pesticides used to prevent and control plant diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms, generally referring to fungicides. However, internationally, it is usually used as a general term for agents to prevent and control various pathogenic microorganisms. With the development of fungicides, subclasses such as bactericides, virucides, and algicides are distinguished.
2. Industrial fungicides
According to the bactericidal mechanism, it can be divided into two categories: oxidizing fungicides and non-oxidizing fungicides. Oxidizing fungicides are usually strong oxidizing agents, which mainly achieve the purpose of sterilization through oxidation with metabolic enzymes in bacteria. Commonly used oxidizing fungicides are chlorine, chlorine dioxide, bromine, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc. Non-oxidizing fungicides act on special parts of microorganisms in the form of toxic agents, thereby destroying the cells or living organisms of microorganisms to achieve a bactericidal effect. Common non-oxidizing fungicides include chlorophenols, isothiazolinones, and quaternary ammonium salts wait.
Fungicides are classified according to their sources. Except for agricultural antibiotics, which belong to biological source fungicides, the main varieties are chemically synthesized fungicides. Fungicides are a class of agents used to prevent and control plant diseases. All agents that can kill or inhibit the growth of pathogens, but do not hinder the normal growth of plants, are collectively referred to as fungicides. Fungicides can be classified according to their mode of action, source of raw materials, and chemical composition.
