In this episode, two of Penn State’s finest plant pathologists, Dr. Paul Esker and Dr. Alyssa Collins, join us to discuss fungicide-resistant field crop diseases. We cover how resistance develops, which diseases to look out for, and which fungicides to select. We also touch on non-chemical agronomic management practices that growers can employ to help with disease issues.
