Talk:Fungicide
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
