Resistance Management
The National Potato Council Pesticide Resistance Management Working Group developed resistance management brochures on fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides which are specific to pests and diseases impacting potatoes and provide practical advice in making product selections that reduce the development of resistance. Each brochure provides a concise description of the factors that can contribute to resistance development and a chart that helps rank products based on the potential of resistance development.
