Fungicides play an important and often critical role in the production of most crops around the world. While fungicide treatments often complement other crop and pest management measures, there are times when the use of fungicidal chemistry provides the deciding factor in economical control of a plant disease. Complementary disease management options often include regulatory measures (quarantines, seed tolerance, seed certification programs), cultural activities (early or delayed planting date, rotation, sanitation to destroy crop debris and sources of inoculum, irrigation and nutrition management), biological and physical controls and host resistance. Developing a fully integrated disease management program utilizing these broad based options including chemical controls helps to greatly reduce the risk of economic losses to plant diseases.
