This book features four peer-reviewed reviews on the development of fungicide resistance in agriculture.The first chapter examines how pathogens develop resistance to fungicides and reviews the ways to detect and measure resistance. The chapter also discusses mechanisms of resistance, such as target site mutation and oppression and multi-drug resistance.The second chapter builds on research covered in the first chapter and reviews the development of resistance in cereal pat...

This specially curated collection features four reviews of current and key research on fusarium in cereal crops.The first chapter describes how progress can be built over current agricultural practices in integrated pest management plans. It also addresses the disease cycle of Fusarium head blight, host–pathogen interactions, genetic resistance, the role of mycotoxins, as well as the impact of the disease on yields and loss of crop quality.The second chapte...
