A new method to measure <scp> EC <sub>50</sub> </scp> reveals cultivar‐specific fungicide resistance and very high diversity within experimental field populations of <scp> <i>Zymoseptoria tritici</i> </scp>
Overall, our findings illustrate the many challenges associated with designing fungicide treatment programs that aim to reduce selection for fungicide resistance when confronted with a pathogen like Z. tritici that has a very high evolutionary potential. © 2026 The Author(s).
