The Crop Protection Network (CPN) has produced a new web book called Fungicide Use in Field Crops. Fungicides are an important crop protection tool for modern agriculture, and proper use decreases risk of fungal diseases and economic losses. This book highlights the importance of fungicides for yield protection, while considering economics, risks to humans and the environment, and prolonging use of fungicide modes of action.

This book is a collaboration among 13 crop specialists representing eight U.S. universities and Ontario, Canada. It considers the most recent advances in fungicide science to equip farmers, agribusiness employees, and others, with essential information to effectively manage diseases of field crops using fungicides.
