The potential for modern biology to identify new sources for genetical, chemical and
biological control of plant disease is remarkably high. Successful implementation of these …

Motivated by questions such as “Why do some diseases take off, while others die out?” and
“How can we optimize the deployment of control methods,” we introduce simple …

Pollinators-insects, birds, bats, and other animals that carry pollen from the male to the
female parts of flowers for plant reproduction-are an essential part of natural and agricultural …

Many studies exist about the selection phase of fungicide resistance evolution, where a
resistant strain is present in a pathogen population and is differentially selected for by the …

The major concern regarding the biocide triclosan (TCS) stems from its potential coselection
for antibiotic resistance. However, environmental impacts are often investigated using high …

The deployment of resistant crops often leads to the emergence of resistance‐breaking
pathogens that suppress the yield benefit provided by the resistance. Here, we theoretically …

We describe two classes of models used for fungicide and antibiotic resistance dynamics.
One class assumes that the density of the pathogen (or severity of the disease caused by the …

Whether fungicide resistance management is optimized by spraying chemicals with different
modes of action as a mixture (ie, simultaneously) or in alternation (ie, sequentially) has been …

Mutations that confer pesticide resistance are predicted to carry a cost in the absence of
pesticide and consequently not to spread to fixation [1, 2]. However, DDT resistance in …

Fungicide mixtures produced by the agrochemical industry often contain low-risk fungicides,
to which fungal pathogens are fully sensitive, together with high-risk fungicides known to be …
