Main Types Of Fungicide
Bactericides, also known as biocides, bactericidal algaecides, microbicides, etc., generally refer to chemicals that effectively control or kill microorganisms in the water system - bacteria, fungi and algae. Mainly divided into agricultural fungicides and industrial fungicides.
Agricultural fungicide
It is a class of pesticides used to control plant diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms, and generally refers to fungicides. However, internationally, it is generally a generic term for agents that control various pathogenic microorganisms. With the development of fungicides, sub-classes such as bactericides, viricides and algicides are distinguished.
Industrial fungicide
According to the sterilization mechanism, it can be divided into two categories: oxidative bactericide and non-oxidizing bactericide. Oxidizing bactericides are usually strong oxidants, which are mainly sterilized by oxidation with metabolic enzymes in bacteria. Commonly used oxidizing biocides are chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, bromine, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and the like. The non-oxidizing bactericide acts on a special part of the microorganism in the form of a toxic agent, thereby destroying the cells or living bodies of the microorganism to achieve a bactericidal effect. Common non-oxidizing bactericides are chlorophenols, isothiazolinones, quaternary ammonium salts.
The fungicides are classified according to the source. Except that the agricultural antibiotics are biologically-derived fungicides, the main varieties are chemical synthetic fungicides, and the fungicides are a kind of medicaments for controlling plant diseases. All agents that have a killing effect on the pathogen or inhibit growth, but do not hinder the normal growth of the plant, are collectively referred to as fungicides. The fungicide can be classified according to the mode of action, the source of the raw materials and the chemical composition.
