Fungicides are used to control:

Fungicides are used to control:

• A. Some disease pathogens
• B. Mites and insects
• C. Moss and algae
• D. All plant pests

Answer: (A)

Fungicides are chemicals that target fungal organisms, so they’re used to prevent or control diseases caused by fungi such as powdery mildew, rusts, and leaf spots. They work by inhibiting fungal growth or killing the fungi themselves. They don’t address insects or mites (which require insecticides or miticides), and moss or algae are not fungal pathogens, so fungicides aren’t used for those. Therefore, the best choice is that fungicides control some disease pathogens—specifically fungal pathogens.
