A new method to measure EC<sub>50</sub> reveals cultivar-specific fungicide resistance and very high diversity within experimental field populations of Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciWe isolated Zymoseptoria tritici strains from a diverse wheat field and quantified fungicide resistance using a novel plate assay. We found high diversity in fungicide sensitivity and host–fungicide–pathogen interactions. Abstract BACKGROUND Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), the most damaging wheat disease in Europe. In Europe,
