<unk> s are biocidal chemical compounds or biological organisms used to kill parasitic fungi or their spores. A fungistatic inhibits their growth. Fungi can cause serious damage in agriculture, resulting in critical losses of yield, quality, and profit.<unk> s are used both in agriculture and to fight fungal infections in animals. Chemicals used to control oomycetes, which are not fungi, are also referred to as<unk> s, as oomycetes use the same mechanisms as fungi to infect plants.<unk> s can either be contact, translaminar or systemic. Contact<unk> s are not taken up into the plant tissue and protect only the plant where the spray is deposited. Translaminar<unk> s redistribute the<unk>  from the upper, sprayed leaf surface to the lower, unsprayed surface. Systemic<unk> s are taken up and redistributed through the xylem vessels. Few<unk> s move to all parts of a plant. Some are locally systemic, and some move upwardly. Most<unk> s that can be bought retail are sold in a liquid form. A very common active ingredient is sulfur, present at 0.08% in weaker concentrates, and as high as 0.5% for more potent<unk> s.<unk> s in powdered form are usually around 90% sulfur and are very toxic. Other active ingredients in<unk> s include neem oil, rosemary oil, jojoba oil, the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, and the beneficial fungus Ulocladium oudemansii.<unk>  residues have been found on food for human consumption, mostly from post-harvest treatments. Some<unk> s are dangerous to human health, such as vinclozolin, which has now been removed from use. Ziram is also a<unk>  that is toxic to humans with long-term exposure, and fatal if ingested. A number of<unk> s are also used in human health care.
