What type of pesticide is specifically used to control fungi?

Fungicides are specifically designed to control various types of fungi that can be detrimental to plants, crops, and other surfaces. These pesticides target fungal pathogens that cause diseases like rusts, molds, and blights, preventing them from spreading and inflicting damage.

While miticides target mites, herbicides are used to control unwanted plants or weeds, and insecticides are formulated for managing insect pests, none of these options effectively address fungal issues. Therefore, fungicides play a crucial role in integrated pest management systems, helping to maintain healthy plants and crops by combating fungal infections.
