This book could interest people in the world of research, which is dedicated to the study of fungicides, their application, modes of action, and characteristics. It would also be interesting for those people who study the emergence of the resistances, especially in fungi, the risks of this issue, and the most effective systems to detect the resistances, fight against them and delay their appearance. The book could be also interesting for people that study the issue of the resistance to herbicides and bactericides. Additionally, agrochemical companies interested in placing their products in the European market could also be considered a group of interest as well as farmers which perform both conventional and organic practices.
