Riassunto

Plant pathogenic fungi cause significant damage to the world's crops each year. Although now often used as part of a general integrated pest management strategy, chemical fungicides remain the prime method of control, and new fungicides continue to be developed by agrochemical companies, particularly as pathogens develop resistance to existing formulations. This book, accessible to undergraduate and graduate students, provides a concise and balanced review of fungicides and their application to crop protection. An unusual feature is the inclusion of ideas from the manufacturing industry, including discussions of the global market for fungicides and of the discovery and development process. The volume also considers the perspectives of the farmer and the consumer. Major topics addressed include fungicide mode of action, resistance, legislation governing fungicides, and the use of biotechnology and natural products.
