FUNGAL DISEASES CAN RESULT IN

CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO AGRICULTURAL AND

HORTICULTURAL CULTIVARS.

UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND WITH AN

ACCORDING EPIDEMIC A LOSS IN YIELD OF 80 %

IS POSSIBLE.

HOW CAN THE HARVEST BE PROTECTED ?

FUNGAL DISEASES ADAPT TOWARDS PESTICIDES

AND RESISTANCE GENES JUST LIKE HUMAN

PATHOGENS CAN ADAPT TOWARDS

ANTIBIOTICS.

THIS SUBJECT AREA IS OUR EXPERTISE.

QuestionsQuestions

HAS THE PATHOGEN

ADAPTED OR BECOME

RESISTANT TO THE

FUNGICIDE ?

IS THERE AN ADAPTION

TOWARDS THE

RESISTANCE OF A

CULTIVAR ?

WHAT

STRATEGIES CAN

BE APPLIED IN

CASE OF AN

ADAPTION ?

ARE NEW

BREEDING LINES

AVAILABLE THAT

SHOW BETTER

RESISTANCE ?
