“…Diversified crop rotations are especially relevant for disease control in conservation agriculture or reduced tillage systems since these systems are more susceptible to disease development, such as Fusarium blight in winter cereals [ 131 ]. Other agronomic interventions that can greatly affect disease development are optimization of irrigation systems as shown by Lage et al [ 132 ] controlling powdery mildew in organic tomato production, and the selection and development of resistant or robust varieties [ 124 ]. Not much research was performed on herbaceous vegetation management for disease control in orchards and vineyards, but some studies showed that the choice of vegetation type is relevant.…”

Copper is an essential nutrient for plants, animals, and humans because it is an indispensable component of several essential proteins and either lack or excess are harmful to human health. Recent studies revealed that the breakdown of the regulation of copper homeostasis could be associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. Copper accumulation occurs in human aging and is thought to increase the risk of AD for individuals with a susceptibility to copper exposure. This review reports that one of the leading causes of copper accumulation in the environment and the human food chain is its use in agriculture as a plant protection product against numerous diseases, especially in organic production. In the past two decades, some countries and the EU have invested in research to reduce the reliance on copper. However, no single alternative able to replace copper has been identified. We suggest that agroecological approaches are urgently needed to design crop protection strategies based on the complementary actions of the wide variety of crop protection tools for disease control.

“…In all the above, reductions in plant surface moisture under drip irrigation (documented in most studies) were postulated to be suppressive to pathogen sporulation, dispersal, and infection (2,18,51,82). In contrast, the dry-loving tomato powdery mildew pathogen (Leveillula taurica) was more severe under drip compared to overhead sprinkler irrigation in organic fresh market tomatoes in Brazil; this was attributed to lower leaf wetness under drip, which enhanced pathogen infection (43).…”

The significance of water scarcity to crop production and food security has been globally recognized as a pivotal sustainability challenge in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (86). The critical link between water scarcity and sustainability is adaptation. Various changes in water use practices have been employed to alleviate production constraints. However, the potential for these changes to influence crop diseases has received relatively little attention, despite the circumglobal importance of diseases on agricultural sustainability. This article reviews what is known about the realized effects of scarcity-driven alterations in water use practices on diseases in the field in order to raise awareness of the potential for both increased disease risk and possible beneficial effects on crop disease management. This is followed by consideration of the primary mechanistic drivers underlying disease outcomes under various water use adaptation scenarios, concluding with a vision for disease–water co-management options and future research needs. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Phytopathology, Volume 58 is August 25, 2020. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
