Diseases remain a serious problem in wheat and barley cultivation.
It has been estimated that around 20% of global crop production is
lost to diseases. Leading fungal diseases affecting wheat and
barley include rusts, Septoria blotches, powdery mildew, tan spot,
spot blotch, net blotch, scald and Fusarium species. Conventional
control using fungicides faces a number of challenges such as
increasing regulation and the spread of fungicide resistance. This
collection sums up the wealth of research addressing this
challenge. Part 1 reviews the latest research on understanding the
main fungal diseases of cereals. Part 2 discusses key challenges in
integrated disease management of wheat and barley. These challenges
include developing new fungicides, the problem of fungicide
resistance, breeding disease-resistance varieties, improving
disease identification and the use of natural antifungal compounds.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
authors, this will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in
universities, government and other research centres and companies
involved in wheat cultivation.
