Abstract
Despite the advancements in alternative methods of disease control, chemical substances are anticipated to remain a primary measure due to their cost and effectiveness. Currently, the Phytosanitary Information System Database of the Ministry of Agriculture lists 17 registered fungicides specifically approved for controlling the pathogenic fungi affecting olive trees in Croatia. Fungicides containing copper and sulfur are most commonly used, along with the formulations based on tebuconazole, prochloraz, and trifloxystrobin. However, the chemical compounds found in fungicides can often impact the environment. An improper application of fungicides can result in adverse effects in the food chain, leading to the accumulation of residues from the plant-protection agents and posing risks to human and animal health. Therefore, in agriculture, phytomedicine is appropriately regulated by the laws comprehensively. This study delves into specific chemical agents for controlling fungal diseases in olives and assesses the associated hazards.
