New research brings promising findings on the fungistatic properties of sulfur and copper, opening up new perspectives in plant pro­tection against fungal diseases. Sulfur and copper, known for their properties that stimulate plant growth and development, also show intense activity against fungal pathogens. Their efficiency in diseases control makes them increasingly used in agricultural practice. How­ever, to maximize the potential of these substances, further on study their mechanisms of action and optimized application methods are required. In addition, scientists are looking for new, more effective fungistatic compounds that could be an alternative to traditional pesticides. Further research in this area could lead to the development of innovative crop protection strategies that are more effective, safer for the environment and more sustainable for agricultural production.
