Method for combating attack and spread of fungal pathogens in plants

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for introducing and/or improving plant resistance to the attack and/or spread of fungal pathogens. The method comprises applying at least one anti-fungal compound to a plant or plant part that has been genetically modified using recombinant DNA technology. The method results in a synergistic effect, as determined using Colby's formula, between the anti-fungal compound and the genetically modified plant or plant part which leads to improve resistance relative to control plants.
