Abstract
It is nearly a decade since the first of fungal herbicides, DeVine and COLLEGO, were introduced for commercial use, establishing mycoherbicides as a practical means of weed management. In 1982 Templeton (156) reviewed the status of weed control with plant pathogens, providing a comprehensive list of mycoherbicide candidates (Figure 2.1). Since then numerous other reviews have appeared detailing the mycoherbicide tactic and mycoherbicide agents (8, 14, 40, 43, 46, 78, 81, 84, 85, 123, 133, 154, 157-164, 182), attesting to the intense scientific and commercial interest in this field. What has been accomplished during this time? What have we gained in the conceptual and practical fronts? What does the future hold for mycoherbicides? These are the questions I attempt to discuss in this chapter and to show that the field has indeed grown significantly.
