Understanding of Resistance Management
Resistance is a term used to describe genetically determined alterations in the sensitivity of a fungal isolate to a fungicide. The resistance risk is the chance that resistance to a fungicide will develop under a given set of circumstances. The hazard associated with the risk – i.e. whether the resistance will compromise the efficacy of fungicide at field rates and whether an epidemic will ensue – is a distinct but obviously related parameter. The resistance risk differs between different fungicides, between different pathogens and between different usage patterns.
Resistance to fungicides has become a major concern across the industry. The need to combat resistance is now centre stage when considering the development of new fungicides and the management of existing compounds.
