      Fusarium

      Doing some quick searching, I didn’t find anything that covers your scenario. Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source on Fusarium quickly evolving fungicide resistance in a big way?

          It will be fun if we lose modern high yield rapeseed and soybean. Lovely.

          Unrelated but horrible farm story you reminded me of. Worked on a tater farm when I was a kid. One of my favorite things when riding the planter was when they would spray fungicide on the planting from previous days. It smelled just like Grapico cola (grape flavored soft drink). We all loved the smell of it and basically huffed the wind. Probably get dick cancer or something from it one day.
