A resource on pesticide resistance

In a research article published by Elderfield et. al., a new clue to effective management of resistance to fungicides was revealed. Using computer modeling, the researchers in the United Kingdom and Australia found that tank mixtures of high-resistance-risk fungicides with low-resistance-risk fungicides are better at preventing resistance development than using alternations of high-resistance-risk fungicides with low-resistance-risk fungicides. Products in the high-resistance-risk fungicide group includes the strobilurins and SDHI fungicides and the low-resistance-risk fungicides include products like chlorothalonil and mancozeb. Check…
