Summary

​This presentation will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners in all regions understand the need for fungicide resistance management. The case study presented here is an example of what happens when resistance occurs while combating a soilborne pathogen where rotational crops are equally susceptible to the same pathogen. Management suggestions are made, explaining the use of cultural practices and fungicide alternatives.
