Good practice requires consistent resistance management messages, based on sound evidence, communicated to farmers and advisers by key stakeholders. Understanding of resistance has been revolutionised by a combination of new techniques for genotyping, phenotyping, experimentation and modelling. Yet resistance management guidance has changed little in the past 35 years. To a large extent this reflects the prescience of early workers who translated sparse evidence into sound guidance which has stood the test of time. It also reflects the limitations of research, and barriers to translation of research into practice. In this chapter, we describe examples of such limitations and barriers, to identify areas for future translational research. Areas where current guidance is out of step with current evidence are highlighted.
