Preface

Welcome to the fourth series of“Fungicides”book from InTech. It is titled“Fungicides -
Showcases of Integrated Plant Disease Management from around the World.”As the
title implies, many of our chapters are about varieties of IPM programs implemented
on a wide array crops grown in different countries. However, this book won't stop
there. We have a section on natural anti-fungal products, and this book finish strongly
with two excellent chapters on fungicide-fungal interactions that could affect the
implementation of IPM practices.
This book starts off with two excellent chapters on wheat disease managements in
Argentina and in the United State of America. From Argentina, Simón et al. discuss
about the effect of fungicide applications on yield and quality when the major foliar
diseases affect the wheat, and they also extend discussion of effects of fungicides on
mycorrhizae. From the USA, Wegulo et al. provide a review of a very important
wheat disease, Fusarium Head Blight, and then discuss integrated management with
an emphasis on combined use of fungicides and host resistance. The following chapter
is also from the USA, where Woodward et al., describe a development of fungicide
application strategies that utilize the strengths of different chemistries to control both
foliar and soilborne pathogens of peanut grown in southeast part of the USA.
The next chapter is from India. Kumar et al. provide an overview of rice diseases and
history of fungicide usages in India. The next three chapters are from Brazil. Juliatti et
al. explain fungicide application technologies and economic analysis on fungal disease
management on corn. Survey results of fungal species associated with cotton ball
disease complex, and management options were described by Zancan et al. Masson et
al. explore an interesting production of eucalyptus in Brazilian forest, and
management of their major disease, eucalyptus rust. This section finishes with another
wood production, which is pine seedling production in Serbia, described by Rajkovic
et al. They discuss management of Lophodermium needle cast.
The second section is about exploration of fungicide or fungistatic materials derived
from natural sources. An overview of natural products from plants of fungus that can
be used as fungicides was provided by Soković et al., followed by a chapter by Patiño
et al. who discuss uses of natural products to control various Fusarium species.
X Preface

The last section is composed of two excellent chapters about interactions between
fungicides and fungus. Various types of fungicide resistance mechanisms, and
methods to detect and describe fungicide resistance were discussed by Beckerman.
Garzon and Flores provide a wonderful review of hormesis, which is a toxicological
concept characterized by low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition, and its
application in the field of plant pathology.
The variety of crops and IPM practices displayed throughout this book, as well as
discussions on the effects of fungicides on pathogens, would be wonderful assets to
the field of plant pathology and beyond. I hope you will enjoy the book.
