BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What are Fungicides?

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, March 10, 2010 - Just like animals and human beings, plants can get sick. In many cases,
the cause is a fungus. Not a mushroom like you see poking up out of the
ground in the woods, but a network of branching, filamentary cells that
botanists call 'hyphae'. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter
answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.

BASF Corporate Communications started a regular bilingual Podcast service
in April 2007 to answer questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in
our everyday life in entertaining episodes. After the current episode, the
publication of the Chemical Reporter will be suspended and the BASF Podcast
Service will be developed further. In the course of this year, there will be
a new format with more thrilling and interesting stories from the world of
chemistry.
