Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The challenge of agricultural production promoted by the European Commission concerning the reduction of plant protection products to 50% involves the use of new strategies and alternative products to chemical fungicides to maintain necessary sanitary control in crops. The evolution of pathogens deserves special attention in terms of their behavior in these change scenarios. It is necessary to analyze the evolution in a “green” environment. This Special Issue calls for the publication of results concerning the fungicide resistance of pathogens that become constraints on agricultural production, the control and adaptation of these pathogens to current control products and new approaches to future agricultural production.
