Spatiotemporal dynamics of fungicide resistance in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici in France.

We provide a quantitative description of the spatiotemporal patterns of resistance evolution for fungicides with several modes of action. Moreover, we highlight some unexpected resistance dynamics in France, with major differences between the north and south. This complex pattern of resistance evolution in French populations is consistent with previous descriptions of dynamics at the European scale. These results should make it easier to anticipate evolution locally and to improve the management of resistance. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
