Like other pesticides, fungicides are numerous and diverse.This complexity has led to diverse schemes for classifying fungicides. Classifications are based on inorganic (elemental sulfur and copper salts) vs organic, chemical structures (dithiocarbamates vs phthalimides), and, most successfully, mechanism of action (MOA).
The USDA's National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program estimated that 100% of eastern apple orchards are stricken with apple scab and that without fungicide treatments yield losses would be as high as 90%. [15] In the western orchards 52% are infected and apple yield loss can be as high as 22%. [11]

[1] The mixture controls many fungal diseases in a wide range of field crops, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and ornamentals. It is marketed as Penncozeb, Trimanoc ...
The Pesticide Data Program, [23] a program started by the United States Department of Agriculture is the largest tester of pesticide residues on food sold in the United States. It began in 1991 and tests food for the presence of various pesticides and if they exceed EPA tolerance levels for samples collected close to the point of consumption.
Methoxyacrylates hold significant importance in the field of agricultural fungicides, with a substantial market share. In 1999, this group of active ingredients accounted for over 10% of the fungicide market, with sales totaling US$620 million, led by azoxystrobin, which alone generated approximately US$415 million in sales.
