In agriculture, protecting crops from fungal infestations is a major global concern. On the market, there are numerous synthetic fungicides that work well against a variety of fungal species. Nevertheless, the fungicides that are now on the market are hazardous to nontarget creatures and pose several health risks. There has not been much focus on the risk and environmental effects of using fungicides as an agrochemical worldwide. The detrimental health effects on living things and the ecological functioning of several commonly used fungicides have not been studied in relation to their ecotoxicological aspects. Communities may be at risk if these various fungicides build up in environmental compartments, including the soil, water and air. This article covers the many kinds of fungicides and how they affect living things that are not targets in different habitats. Additionally, an effort has been made to describe bio-fungicides and their benefits over synthetic fungicides. This article will offer the scientific data required for disease control and application in the future.In conclusion, we delineate the primary research lacunae that presently impede our capacity to forecast fungicide exposure and the consequences and inadequacies of the existing environmental risk assessment for fungicides.
