Crop plants have a number of defence mechanisms against disease-causing agents which can be activated using “elicitors”.
- Fundamental principles of resistance induction through potential resistance inductors.
- Clarification of the spectrum of activity of resistance inductors and of the causes of desirable and undesirable side effects.
- Illustration of the potential and limitations of resistance induction with regard to key diseases in viticulture, pome fruit and vegetable production.
