The newest results in the chromatographic analysis of synthetic and natural fungicides present in biological and environmental matrices are collected and critically evaluated. Examples of the employment of gas chromatography, liquid chromatographic technologies, such as thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatographic methods as well as electrically driven systems are presented. The advantages and disasdvantages of the various chromatographic technologies are briefly discussed and the efficacies of the methodologies are compared.

The sensitivity of strains considerably varied depending on their taxonomic position, thus the strains of Longibrachiatum section proved to be more tolerant than those of Pachybasium and Trichoderma sections. Significant relationship was revealed between structure of C1 -C24 alkanols and their growth inhibitory effect to Trichodermas, both efficacy and selectivity of C1 -C3 and C14 -C24 alkanols failed off the C9 -C11 alkanols.

The dimensionality of the maps of principal component loadings and variables and the selectivity maps was reduced to two by non-linear mapping. Except for two compounds, the dyes showed marked antifungal activity.
