The pathogen #Candida tropicalis is increasingly resistant to azole #antifungals. Although C. tropicalis was thought to be diploid, this study shows that a widely used agricultural #fungicide generates haploid cells that are cross-resistant to antifungal drugs #AMR @PLOSBiology

House #sparrows, once one of the most common #bird species, are becoming increasingly rare in #Europe. Several studies have already shown a direct link between the decline in species and industrialised #agriculture ( #herbicides, #insecticides, #glyphosat).
A new #study shows chronic exposure to #tebuconazole, a widely used #fungicide impairing offspring growth and survival in farmland birds

'PAN successfully challenges pesticide product authorisation - major implications. The highest administrative court in The Netherlands overturned the rejection of our objection to the authorisation of Dagonis, an agricultural fungicide.'
