Fungicides play a key role in disease control in plants and animals. Antifungal Agents explores how new molecular technologies are interfacing with chemistry and biology in the search for new fungicide targets.

Readership: researchers in the agrochemical and pharamceutical industries, teachers wishing to keep course material abreast of developments.
