We examined present trends for the reduction of use of copper-based fungicides for the control of plant diseases in Europe. Some new formulations of copper-based fungicides are presented, which are effective and environmentally more acceptable than the existing classical formulations. By switching to these new formulations, we could reduce the future input of copper compounds into agricultural environment and prolong the use of copper fungicides for plant protection purposes. New alternative plant protection products are discussed in respect with their usefulness and potential for replacing of copper compounds in the control of diseases of most important agricultural crops (apple, grapevine, potato, _). Efforts of domestic Slovenian chemical industry to develop new formulations of copper fungicides are also presented.
