Auteurs : MUELLER Daren, WISE Kirsten, DUFAULT Nicholas, BRADLEY Carl, CHILVERS Martin
Fungicides for Field Crops provides an overview of the current knowledge
of fungicides and their use on field crops. This comprehensive book, which
includes the contributions of 40 professionals from 20 universities and
other organizations, combines past knowledge about fungicides with recent
developments in the realm of field crop fungicides. Fungicides for Field
Crops highlights the use of fungicides as key tools in the management of
important diseases of field crops. Management is presented as a
decision-making process—one in which factors as diverse as weather
conditions and economics must be considered. Having a more complete
understanding of fungicides will inform that decision making and help
determine when fungicides should be included as part of a management plan.
Daren S. Mueller and his co-editors have organized the book in a
general-to-specific format, making the content accessible to readers of
all backgrounds: Parts I, II, and III establish a foundation of knowledge
about fungicide use, addressing basic terms and concepts, key factors in
decision making, and concerns for fungicide stewardship, respectively.
Part IV presents details about using fungicides to manage diseases of 16
field crops. Each crop is treated in a separate section that begins with a
discussion of general issues of foliar application and seed treatment and
ends with an inclusive table identifying diseases of that crop, including
what causes them and how fungicides may be used to treat them. 131 color
photographs illustrate disease symptoms and show techniques and enhance
the key concepts described in the text. Fungicides for Field Crops will
serve as a valuable resource for agribusiness professionals, researchers
and extension personnel, farmers and crop production advisors, and
teachers and students. Both current and future agronomists and farmers can
rely on this book not only for useful baseline information but also for
crop-specific details about the effective and responsible use of
fungicides.
