First published in 1997, this important reference guide has been updated to reflect important changes in variety performance and increased knowledge over the past decade.

fungicide resistance

Fungicide Resistance Management in Cereals
Fungicides, in combination with exploitation of resistant varieties and other agronomic and cultural techniques, will be the mainstay of cereal disease control for the foreseeable future and so must be protected from the threat of resistance.
