In the agricultural industry plant diseases such
as fungal attacks can seriously damage the production of foodstuffs. According
to estimates, more than 40% of the crop yields that are theoretically achievable are lost
because of threats such as plant diseases, bacteria and viruses, as well as
from environmental impacts like drought. This is the motivation that drives the
researchers at BASF to develop new approaches and solutions to combat these
problems. The means they employ against these fungal attacks are the so-called
fungicides. Source: BASF
