Abstract
In modern-day agriculture, with the population increasing at an alarming rate, it’s difficult to increase the production with the ever-decreasing land and water resources. The plant diseases alone account for more that 15–20% of the yield loss caused by the various biotic and abiotic factors. Efficient management of these plant pathogens will help in increasing the productivity of the crop and lead to enhanced production. Among the various disease management strategies, the chemical control using the fungicides has been the most widely adopted method for fungal disease management. There have been many adverse effects on the environment and human health associated with the use of the traditional fungicides that were less efficient and broad spectrum. In order to overcome the limitation of these fungicides, many new fungicides with novel mode of action have been developed in the past two decades. These so-called new-generation fungicides are highly efficient even at low doses, are more target specific, and leave no or very less residue on the produce. This chapter reiterates the different new-generation fungicides along with their mode of action and target pathogens.
