Chemical name | Group | Uses and mode of action | References |
---|---|---|---|
Azoxystrobin | Fungicide | Effective against powdery and downy mildews fungus | Nilsson (1995) |
Acibenzolar-S-methyl | Fungicide | Used for Crops and vegetables | Nilsson (1995) |
Blight ban | Bactericide | Supress the growth of the fire blight and frost forming bacteria on plant surface | Pothier et al. (2011) |
Avermectin | Nematicide | Improves plants thermal stability and has greater water solubility | Bargabus et al. (2002) |
Carbendazim | Fungicide | Controls mould, spot, mildew and scorch. It affects the biosynthesis of the DNA during the process of the fungal cell division | Garnsey and Cambra (1991) |
Allyl isothicyanate | Nematicide | Broad spectrum in nature widely effective against numerous soil-borne pathogens | Bargabus et al. (2002) |
Cephalosporins | Bactericide | Inhibit cell wall synthesis of pathogens | Pothier et al. (2011) |
Difenoconazole | Fungicide | Inhibits the cell membrane ergosterol biosynthesis and prevents the development of the fungus | Nilsson (1995) |
Vancomycin | Bactericide | It inhibits trans peptidase synthesis which further prevents elongation consequently destroys the pathogen | Pothier et al. (2011) |
Cyanogen | Nematicide | Kills plant parasites | Kollerova et al. (2008) |
Myclozolin | Fungicide | Prevents the growth of the pathogens | Bargabus et al. (2002) |
Metronidazole | Bactericide | Break the DNA strands and results in loss of helical structure of the infectious organism present over plant surface | Nilsson (1995) |
Diamidafos | Nematicide | Organophosphate in nature and thus inhibits the acetylcholine esterase synthesis which is required for the normal functioning of a plant | Kollerova et al. (2008) |
Telithromycin | Bactericide | Interferes with the protein synthesis of the bacteria and prevents its growth | Bargabus et al. (2002) |
