Industry NewsOne result of the introduction of the new site-specific systemic fungicides isneed for improved pathogen monitoring in order to:

1) Optimize resistance management, especially for the site-specific fungicithat are most prone to resistance. Phytopathologists need to develop methodfor defining biochemical markers and monitoring resistance and strategies fhandling resistant populations, possibly including resistance thresholds.Also, findings need to be effectively related to regulatory agencies.2) Devise a method for sampling soil and quantifying fungal populations andaction thresholds similar to the nematode assaying programs. University andindustry research scentists should continue to address population dynamicsaneconomic thresholds for soilborne pathogens and, provide information on wheta grower's fields need treatment.

Despite croprotation, resistant varieties, seed dressings, and culturalpractices, soilborne diseases still account for a significant proportion of crolosses attributed to disease, In estimating disease losses, "disease workers" ithe respective crops rank soilborne diseases as follows:

£tQR Disease RankCotton Seedling diseases 1Verticillium wilt 3Peanuts Nematodes 2Southern blight 3Soybeans Root and lower stem rots INematodes 2

There is a great need in the United States for industry to offer better means ofcontrolling soilborne pathogens. Frequently, several toxophores are available focontrolling foliar pathogens, but with the exception of the fumigants, agentsagainst soilborne pathogens are limited or absent. University personnel can helptremendously by improving screening techniques for candidate compounds. What doethe future hold? Perhaps an integral approach of both chemicals and biologicals,Soil microbiologists must elucidate the needs and assist the grower in makingdecisions.
