About the Author

Dr Francisco J. Lopez-Ruiz leads the Fungicide Resistance Group at the Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM). Based in the School of Molecular and Life Sciences at Curtin University, Australia, the Fungicide Resistance Group has made major contributions towards the management of fungicide resistance in several key plant pathogens. Dr Lopez-Ruiz has published widely on the molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance and its detection.

Professor Richard Oliver has recently retired from his position as John Curtin Distinguished Professor in the Centre for Crop Disease Management at Curtin University, Australia. Amongst other honours, Professor Oliver is an Honorary Fellow of the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB), Honorary Professor at Nottingham Universityies and was previously a Fellow at Rothamsted Research in the UK and a Visiting Professor at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. He is also a past President of the British Society for Plant Pathology.

Dr. Nichola Hawkins is a plant pathologist at NIAB, Cambridge, UK. Her research combines evolutionary biology and functional genetics to address questions about evolutionary predictability, constraints and trade-offs, applied to the evolution of resistance against fungicides and other crop protection measures, focusing on fungal pathogens of arable crops.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“This new book provides a comprehensive coverage of the issue of fungicide resistance in agriculture. The content of the chapters in Part one is well supported by the inclusion of several case studies – written by representatives from the scientific community and the chemical industry – in Part two which detail recent advances in understanding resistance to key groups of fungicides. Edited by a leading name in the field and featuring contributions from a very impressive list of international experts, the volume promises to be an excellent reference for the future management of fungicide resistance.”(Lise Nistrup Jørgensen, Senior Scientist, Aarhus University, Denmark)
