Corynespora cassiicola is the causal agent of cucumber Corynespora leaf spot, which affects many economically important plant species. Chemical control of this disease is hampered by the common development of fungicide resistance. In this study, 100 ...
Fungicides are the most common and important management technique for cucurbit downy mildew. Fungicide efficacy against the causal agent Pseudoperonospora cubensis, an obligate biotroph, has been monitored on potted cucumber seedlings exposed to natural ...
ABSTRACTIsolates of the US-1 and BR-1 clonal lineages of Phytophthora infestans, collected from tomato and potato fields of two main producing regions of Brazil (south and southeast), were tested for sensitivity to the systemic fungicide metalaxyl, plus ...
Wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici is an important wheat disease with sudden and devastating characteristics. The appearance and spread of new P. graminis f. sp. tritici races (Ug99, TKTTF, and TTTTF) have once again renewed the ...
China has the largest acreage and is the greatest producer of apples in the world. Apple ring rot (ARR) caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea is one of the major diseases affecting apple fruit production. Tebuconazole, a sterol demethylation-inhibiting (DMI) ...
Prochloraz is widely used to control rice bakanae disease caused by Fusarium fujikuroi. The current study was aimed at monitoring the development of F. fujikuroi resistance to prochloraz in the Heilongjiang Province and analyzing the fitness of F. ...
Apple scab is one of the most economically important diseases of apple in temperate production regions. In the absence of durable host resistance in commercially preferred cultivars, considerable applications of fungicides are needed to manage this ...
Information on the presence and severity of grape powdery mildew (GPM), caused by Erysiphe necator, has long been used to guide management decisions. While recent advances in the available molecular diagnostic assays and particle samplers have made ...
Target spot of tomato caused by Corynespora cassiicola is one of the most economically destructive diseases of tomato in Florida. A collection of 123 isolates from eight counties in Florida were evaluated for sensitivity to azoxystrobin and fenamidone ...
From 2014 to 2019, 249 isolates of Botrytis spp. were collected from blackberry, black raspberry, grape, red raspberry, and strawberry showing gray mold symptoms. All isolates were phylogenetically characterized as Botrytis cinerea. A mycelial growth ...
Dollar spot, caused by the ascomycete fungus Clarireedia (formerly Sclerotinia), is one of the most resource-demanding diseases on amenity turfgrasses in North America. Differential resistance to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide ...
Anthracnose, mainly caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex including Colletotrichum fructicola and Colletotrichum siamense, is a devastating disease of peach. Chemical control has been widely used for years, but management failures have ...
Peach scab is a fungal disease caused by Venturia carpophila that can significantly reduce peach yield and quality. Fungicide application is the main control measure for peach scab worldwide. To better understand the fungicide-resistance status and devise ...
Colletotrichum nymphaeae is the dominant species causing anthracnose disease of peach in China. In this study, 140 isolates of C. nymphaeae were assessed for their sensitivity to six fungicides. It was found that C. nymphaeae was highly resistant to ...
Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are the fungicides most commonly used to control Botrytis fruit rot on commercial strawberry in Florida. The medium-to-high risk of selection of resistance in the causal agent Botrytis cinerea is a threat to the ...
Phenamacril is a cyanoacrylate fungicide that provides excellent control of Fusarium head blight (FHB) or wheat scab, which is caused predominantly by Fusarium graminearum and F. asiaticum. Previous studies revealed that codon mutations of the myosin-5 ...
Dollar spot, caused by Clarireedia spp. (formerly Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett), is the most economically important turfgrass disease causing considerable damage on golf courses. While cultural practices are available for reducing dollar spot ...
Apple growers in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.A. have reported increased losses to bitter rot of apple. We tested the hypothesis that this increase is because the Colletotrichum population has developed resistance to commonly used single-mode-of-...
Target spot, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, is a common lower canopy soybean disease in the southern United States. Recently, target spot has resurged in importance especially following the identification of resistance to the quinone outside inhibitor (...
Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides have been widely used to manage diseases of soybean including target spot caused by Corynespora cassiicola. However, resistance to QoI fungicides has recently been reported within the C. cassiicola population ...
