ABSTRACT
Effective management of plant fungal pathogens is crucial for minimizing economic and environmental impacts of crop diseases in agricultural production. It play the major role in providing healthy nad nutritious food, maintaining human and animal well-being, and maintain environmental balance in agroecosystems. These goals are in agreement with Agroecology and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Agroecology is integrating ecological principles with agriculture and offers a holistic and environmentally friendly approach to fungal disease management. IPM focuses on prevention and protection against pests and diseases, involving environmentally safe agricultural practices, cultivating resistant plant varieties, and promoting agrobiodiversity. The authors aim to provide a comprehensive and concise overview, of the key components of IPM in sustainable agriculture including recent developments in electronic tools helping farmers in making optimal decisions concerning economic and environment aspects. This includes a particular focus on the significance of plant resistance to major pathogens, breeding technologies, effective crop management practices, non-chemical fungal management, and, finally, within the context of agroecology principles. Agroecological approaches to fungal plant pathogen management prioritize the long-term health of agricultural ecosystems, contributing to the overall biodiversity and sustainability of farming systems. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, AgroVariety application (app) developed for farmers were used to discuss the role of specialized applications in decision-making for environmentally friendly and cost-effective plant production. This tool emphasizes the use of combination of different IPM techniques, with a specific emphasis on methods that are least harmful to the environment and tailored to control the particular pathogens.
