26 February 2025, New Delhi: Carboxylic acid fungicides, including oxolinic acid, are important tools in agricultural pest control, particularly for bacterial and fungal diseases. This group works by interfering with the metabolic processes of pathogens, making them less effective in reproducing and spreading. These fungicides are commonly used to manage a wide range of diseases, particularly in fruits and vegetables.
Despite their effectiveness, carboxylic acid fungicides require careful resistance management. Resistance has been documented in certain pathogens, highlighting the need for a strategic approach to their use. Farmers should rotate fungicides with different modes of action and consider the integration of alternative disease management practices to minimize the risk of resistance development.
Carboxylic acid fungicides are best used in combination with other management strategies to ensure sustainable crop protection.
