Modern Fungicides and Antifungal Compounds

Application and detection of new systemic fungicides have made further progress over the past years.

Simultaneously, new problems and boderlines have emerged which demand a more detailed investigation on biological and physiological properties of modern antifungal compounds or alternative strategies.

The resulting fresh theoretical insights are a valuable basis for practical application, as well as for chemical development of new and better compounds.

With the exploration of new antifungal compounds with specific mechanisms of action, a joint interest of agriculture, chemistry and medicine in fundamental research has evolved.

Moreover, there is an increasing interest in host parasite interaction and the influence of external factors on it.

This book contains the papers presented at the International Symposium held in Reinhardsbrunn, Germany in Spring 1995, and provides an up-to-date review of fungicide research.

It adopts a scientific approach in illustrating current knowledge and gives an indication of the research still required.
