Abstract
Climate change is the biggest threat of 21st century for sustainable development, especially for agriculture due to its association with biotic and abiotic stresses. Major abiotic threats associated with climate change are droughts, floods, heat, and salinity stress. Triazoles and strobilurins classes of fungicides not only alleviate fungal diseases but also improve growth and yield of plant under abiotic stresses by regulating physiological and biochemical phenomenon. Fungicides are one of the ways to control fungal diseases in plants. Strobilurins fungicides are mainly protectant in action. Disease control with strobilurins has usually been as good as with triazoles. The primary action of triazoles is to lower the gibberellins (GA) contents by the inhibition of its biosynthesis. Trinexapac application enhances root length, nutrient acquisition, and yield in crops. Trinexapac-ethyl inhibits GA production in the biosynthetic pathway. Plants regulates its processes through mediating the interaction with the soil which includes excretion of different exudates, uptake of soil minerals and other chemicals, and its symbiotic relationship with soil fauna and flora during any abiotic stress. In this chapter, we have discussed about the role of triazoles and strobilurins in soil–plant interaction and sustainability of agricultural productivity in climate change scenario.
