Some Principles Of Fungicide Resistance
CHERYL KAISER AND DR. PAUL VINCELLI
LEXINGTON, KY.
Fungicides are important tools in modern crop production. Unfortunately, one of the risks of using these products is that fungi sometimes develop resistance to them. Resistance development is a concern because the products may become less effective – or even useless – for controlling resistant pathogens and pests. This is a concern for all pesticides, including fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. This fact sheet is intended to help pesticide applicators better understand this process.
