<br> Crop losses to pathogenic fungi that cause disease are large. Although some plant diseases cannot be controlled chemically, there is a wide range of fungicides available and new ones continue to be developed. Thus a book that reviews the current status of fungicides is timely. The goal of the book is to provide a concise and balanced review of these fungicides and their uses and applications in crop protection. The main topics discussed include the fungicides market, how fungicides are discovered and developed, mechanisms of fungicide action, resistance to fungicides, biological plant diseases, legislation related to fungicides, and current trends in the types of fungicides used. The material in the book takes a conventional approach to pest control linked with an emphasis on structure and mechanisms of action of fungicides. These well-written and comprehensive sections are the main strength and appeal of this book. --The Quarterly Review of Biology<p><br>
