Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) published a news update about a 57% increase in patent activity over the past 5 years for fighting fungal wilt known as Panama disease.  Chemical Abstracts Service searched the HCAplus database on STN with a result of 510 patents since 2010 that mention Fusarium oxysporum. C&EN notes that Azole-based fungicides continue to dominate the fight and included BASF patent application publication WO 2015/181009 as an example.
