“…Propiconazole has been used on many crops. It is a broad spectrum systemic fungicide from trizole group and appears to act by inhibiting ergosterol production, which is an essential sterol in the membranes of most fungi (Rouabhi, 2010).…”

Aims: Temporary Immersion Bioreactor (TIB) system is an advanced technology for commercial mass production of potato microtubers. Despite of several advantages, this system possess a great risk of culture loss at any stage of micropropagation due to microbial contamination. The aims of this study were to identify microbial contaminants isolated during potato shoot growth in the TIB system, evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial agents to prevent them, to investigate the effect of those agents in vitro on growth and morphology of potato plantlets. Methodology and results: Six bacteria namely Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Corynebacterium, Proteus, Bacillus and five fungi Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Fusarium and Rhizopus were isolated from the TIB system. We examined the effect of three antibacterial (Gentamycin, Vancomycin and Tetracycline) and four antifungal agents (Mencozeb, Propiconazole, Bavistin and Copper oxychloride) on the contaminants and on potato shoot growth. Results show that Gentamycin (50 mg/L) and Propiconazole (0.15%) were most effective against the isolated bacteria (35 mm inhibition zone) and fungi (100%) respectively, whereas Gentamycin in combination with Bavistin showed better performance on potato shoot and root development. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Present study will provide useful guidelines to reduce or eliminate the risk of contamination during micropropagation.

“…A large and increasing number of fungicides are used for agriculturally critical crops like soybean, rice, corn and wheat, as well as for orchard fruits and vegetables. Table 1 lists the most commonly applied chemical categories of fungicides for commercial agricultural use and their major mode for action [6]. Many fungicides are applied topically to either the seed or the plants and the ground surrounding and act to repel fungal spores and prevent fungal growth and infection.…”

Fungicides are widely used in agriculture and medicine and there are several different types of fungicides that are distributed globally in the soil and water through water runoff and drift from spraying as well as other avenues of distribution. Understanding the biological effects of fungicide contaminants in the environment on non-target organisms including humans is critical. This chapter considers the use of the model organism and key beneficial soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, as an effective strategy for examining fungicide effects on growth, reproduction, nervous system and behavior. We present novel evidence of the effects of a general use fungicide, mancozeb, on behavior and neuronal structure.

“…According to some studies, fungicides indicated increased incidences of developmental toxicology and oncogenesis. Also the excessive heat production, hyperpyrexia, liver damage, and corneal opacities may be occurred [4]. Thus, the target organs for this pesticide include the liver, kidney, and hematopoietic system, particularly red blood cells [3].…”
