A Vital Role for Fungicides in Cereal
Production discusses relationships between the trends in cereal production,
in terms of market size and quality, and fungicide use. Topics include advances
in plant breeding, changing agronomy, the potential that such developments
may have in altering the spectrum of economically important pathogens and
the types of fungicidal activity which may be valuable. Information is presented
on the value to the grower of predictive methods such as immunoassay, the
use of expert systems and resistance risk analysis as aids to effective
cereal management with fungicides. The implications of these trends upon
the discovery and development of new fungicides are described.
Readership: Researchers in the agrochemical industry
