Chemical Control—Bacterial Diseases Common and Trade Names of the Bactericides

Many fungicides have been developed, and several chemical industries have invested several millions of dollars in developing fungicides. More than 100 active fungicide ingredients have been registered, and several hundred fungicide formulations are available in the market. In contrast, very few bactericides are available to control bacterial diseases (Research Information, 1998). In this chapter, the bactericides available in the market are listed and their uses are given.
