Objectives/Focus issues of the SMC	1. Chemicals and Biorationals as plant protection products 2. Cultural Control (agronomy, forecast systems etc.) and application technology 3. Variety resistance 4. Pathogen adaptation to control measures
About the SMC	The SMC Chemical Control focuses on identification and communication of progress in plant disease control and on new developments in fungicide resistance to scientists, advisors and all involved in plant pathology. Its main purpose is the organisation of various sessions at the ICPP conferences. The members exchange mainly online or at different scientific conferences, which are visited by the Committee Members.
Coming events (next workshops/meetings)
Past events	Various members met at the Reinhardsbrunn-Symposium 2023 and discussed open topics and progress of organization of the Concurrent Sessions at ICPP 2023.
Committee Activities	Main activities since 2018, besides the active presence at various global conferences of the members, were discussions on the future orientation of the group and how to integrate other disease control approaches than synthetic plant protection products. Additionally, the organization of three Concurrent Sessions ("Progress in Disease Control 1 and 2" and "New Development in Fungicide Resistance") was a main activity of the group. The three sessions were organized with the target to cover different but important regions, crops and diseases. The high number of applications for oral and poster presentations shows the high demand of both topics (progress in disease control and fungicide resistance) at the ICPP 2023.
