Tan spot of wheat: can biological control interact with actual management practices to counteract this global disease?

Synergistic Effects of Chemical Fungicides with Crude Extracts from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to Control Northern Corn Leaf Blight

“…As the identification of highly effective and new chemical inhibitors for NCLB is slow and expensive, traditional fungicides are still used to control NCLB, mainly including triazole fungicides like tebuconazole, flutriafol, and strobilurin fungicides such as pyraclostrobin and azoxystrobin [16,17]. The prolonged application of chemical fungicides has resulted in the development of dominant resistant strains in agricultural fields, leading to a persistent rise in fungicide usage [18,19] and the release of excess chemical agents into the environment, ultimately causing severe ecological damage and agricultural product quality and safety concerns [20,21]. The proportion of mixed fungicide used for chemical disease control has been steadily rising, such as the mixture of tebuconazole and trifloxystrobin, flutriafol and azoxystrobin, among others [22][23][24].…”

The Mitigation of Phytopathogens in Wheat under Current and Future Climate Change Scenarios: Next-Generation Microbial Inoculants

“…In addition to a correct BCA application, an integrated management plan to control wheat diseases will be necessary. For example, by combining different strategies, such as crop breeding (the development/use of wheat varieties resistant to the specific disease) and sustainable agricultural practices that reduce susceptibility to some pests/herbs (i.e., crop rotation, minimum tillage systems, and/or balanced fertilization), one can increase the possibilities and conditions for the microbial inoculant to be successful [152,153].…”
