Etymology

The term 'fungicide' originated from the combination of 'fungus' and 'cide', which means to kill. Fungicides have been used for centuries to protect crops from fungal infections and diseases. The development of synthetic fungicides in the 20th century revolutionized agriculture by providing more effective and targeted solutions to fungal problems. Today, fungicides play a crucial role in ensuring food security and preventing crop losses due to fungal pathogens.
