Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungal diseases mostly affect horticultural crops. Climate change also affects the distribution of microorganisms worldwide; as a result, novel fungal diseases are spreading in different environments. Moreover, regulartory governements are posing novel limitations on the usage of non-sustainable management strategies to counteract plant diseases. Indeed, novel and eco-friendly control methods coupled with innovative diagnostic techniques are required to efficiently manage plant diseases.
In the framework of this Special Issue “Fungal Diseases in Horticultural Crops”, we encourage the submission of innovative manuscripts that focus on studying fungal–plant interactions, novel management strategies against fungal pathogens on horticultural crops, and innovative detection techniques.
