DESCRIPTION:Fungicides play a key role in modern agronomy but pathogen pop
 ulations often adapt rapidly under the significant selection pressure exer
 ted by these chemicals\, threatening continued effectiveness of disease co
 ntrol. Typical advice to mitigate spread of fungicide-resistant strains in
 volves utilising chemicals with different modes of action together in spra
 y programmes. We use mathematical modelling to evaluate a range of differe
 nt spray programmes\, aiming to optimise for resistance management and yie
 ld. We also examine the trade-off between model generality and accuracy in
  providing practical advice for farmers and agronomists.
