Organic fungicides are natural or naturally-derived substances used to control fungal diseases in plants. They are an essential component of organic farming and gardening practices, providing an alternative to synthetic chemical fungicides. Here’s a detailed description:

1. Composition:

   • Natural Extracts: Derived from plant extracts, essential oils, or other natural sources. Common examples include neem oil, garlic extract, and rosemary oil.
   • Biological Agents: Contains beneficial microorganisms like bacteria or fungi that outcompete or inhibit harmful fungi. Examples include Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma species.
   • Minerals: Utilizes naturally occurring minerals such as sulfur or copper. These minerals can disrupt fungal cell walls or inhibit fungal growth.

2. Benefits:
