NewsResearchers make new optimal recommendations for fungicide resistance management
Fungicide application, while helpful in controlling plant diseases, has complicated limitations that may cost growers both peace of mind and quantity of yield. Plant pathogens which would otherwise be killed off by fungicides can evolve, developing resistance that renders the standard dose of fungicide application ineffective. Source: Maccheek ...
