Role of Fungicides in Food and Crop Health Security for Better Tomorrow
Abstract: AbstractFungicides are absolutely essential for prevention of plant diseases and improving crop yield, which is otherwise lost due to diseases. Their role has assumed importance where desirable host resistance against diseases is lacking. For many of the destructive diseases such as those caused by the members of oomycetes, against which effective host resistance is not available or when the host resistance is easily broken by new pathogen races, fungicides serve …
