If you want to have a list of Fungicides, then please do so at some article like List of fungicides, not the main article. Thanks, snoyes 07:19, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Why ? I should have thought this was a good thing to have - see article on Insecticides Tomcrisp7 10:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
There are problems with this article :
Fungicides are not commonly used on corn (maize) since there are few serious diseases of this crop, and economic results are difficult to obtain from the use of fungicides.
Also, some fungicides are geneticcally modified ? What utter rubbish. Crop plants can be genetically modified to obtain different results from pesticides, but fungicides ? These are chemicals and therefore contain no genes to be modified ! Astonishing.
Also, systemic fungicides are systemic in the host plant, not the fungus.
In addition, the article is being used as a pesticides scaremongering platform and this is not acceptable.

- I agree. Most fungicides are no more harmful to humans than salt, and thats a fact I have from a table given in my lectures, which must have come froma reputable source. On the 8th March I have 3 lectures of fungicides (which will have references), but this needs to be changed urgently so I will do what I can now.

- But what exactly does your lecturer mean? Does s/he mean that to an average person, high salt intake is of greater concern than fungicide residue in food? This is very different to claiming that all fungicides are no more toxic than salt! I'm removing the claim, unless we can get a reputable source that states it completely unambiguously. –Adrian J.

- No what I meant is that it takes less salt to kill you than it does some fungicides. Million_Moments 16:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions Article Should Answer
- Are there general classes of chemicals that are fungicides?
- How in general do the clases of fungicidal chemicals work?
- What are a few common names for fungicidal chemicals?
I am not an expert. These are questions that should be answered for the general reader.--F3meyer 20:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

What about systemic and protectant fugicides? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.86.15 (talk) 12:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
