Resistance Risks and Management in Fungicide Groups: A Focus on Acylalanines and Other Key Classes
26 February 2025, New Delhi: Fungicide resistance is an ongoing challenge in agriculture, and understanding the risks associated with different fungicide classes is essential for effective management. Acylalanines, such as oxadixyl, are a key group used in crop protection, specifically targeting Oomycetes pathogens. However, resistance to acylalanines is a significant concern, particularly when used excessively without proper resistance management practices.
Alongside acylalanines, other key fungicide classes such as DHODH inhibitors and hydroxy-pyrimidines are also critical in disease management but are susceptible to resistance if not used properly. Resistance management involves rotating fungicides, using products with different modes of action, and integrating cultural practices to minimize resistance pressure.
Farmers must stay informed about resistance risks and follow best practices for fungicide application to ensure long-term success in crop protection.
