Abstract

Fungicide resistance has developed in some diseases of row crops as well as specialty crops. This implies that fungicide applications to control such diseases may no longer be effective. Scientific studies have shown that fungicide resistance develops through natural selection of a mutant strain of a pathogen in a population that is resistant to fungicides. Resistance is very difficult to eliminate but can be delayed through appropriate management practices. The availability of inexpensive options with single mode of action products being available makes this an important issue so we do not repeat what was done in weed management.
