<strong>PLANT</strong> <strong>PROTECTION</strong> 1 – <strong>Pests</strong>, <strong>Diseases</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Weeds</strong><br />

FUNGICIDE ACTIVITY GROUPS<br />

Fungicides are classified by Croplife Australia into fungicide<br />

activity groups which assist in resistance management.<br />

The following tables are a summary guide only, <strong>and</strong> not a<br />

substitute for reading a currently registered label, the MSDS<br />

<strong>and</strong> obtaining up-to-date advice.<br />

They also provide an overall picture of the types of fungicides<br />

available for crop protection.<br />

Mark fungicides you use at work.<br />
