Scientists developed new chemical compounds called indole derivatives that can kill harmful fungi that destroy fruit crops like stone fruits and grapes. These compounds were made using microwave heating, which is faster and more efficient than traditional methods. Testing showed that some of these new compounds were even better at fighting these fungal diseases than current commercial fungicides, offering promise for protecting crops in agriculture.
