fungicide
Spore-destroying chemical
A fungicide is a chemical substance that kills fungi or inhibits their growth.
Fungicides protect crops from mold, mildew, and other fungal diseases, and treat fungal infections in humans and animals.
The word follows the pattern of pesticide, insecticide, and herbicide—agents that kill specific targets.
Apply fungicide to prevent powdery mildew on roses.
