Fungicide Resistance Evolution and Detection in Plant Pathogens: Plasmopara viticola as a Case Study

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
The use of single-site fungicides to control plant pathogens in the agroecosystem can be associated with an increased selection of resistance. The evolution of resistance represents one of the biggest challenges in disease control. In vineyards, frequent

Toxicity of the insecticide sulfoxaflor alone and in combination with the fungicide fluxapyroxad in three bee species

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The sulfoximine insecticide sulfoxaflor is regarded as a potential substitute for neonicotinoids that were recently banned in the EU due to their side effects on bees.

Decision support systems halve fungicide use compared to calendar-based strategies without increasing disease risk

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2021
The European Green Deal aims to reduce the use of chemical pesticides by half by 2030. Decision support systems are tools to help farmers schedule fungicide spraying based on disease risk and can reduce fungicide application frequency and overall use ...

The Combination of a Biocontrol Agent Trichoderma asperellum SC012 and Hymexazol Reduces the Effective Fungicide Dose to Control Fusarium Wilt in Cowpea

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2021
The use of synthetic fungicide needs to be gradually reduced because of its adverse effect on human health and the environment. An integrated approach combining fungicides with biological control agents (BCAs) can be used to reduce the fungicide doses ...

High frequency of fungicide resistance-associated mutations in the wheat yellow rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici.

open access: yesPest Management Science, 2021
BACKGROUND Reliance on fungicides to manage disease creates selection pressure for the evolution of resistance in fungal and oomycete pathogens. Rust fungi (Pucciniales) are major pathogens of cereals and other crops and have been classified as low-risk ...

Revisiting Sustainability of Fungicide Seed Treatments for Field Crops.

open access: yesPlant Disease, 2020
The use of fungicide seed treatment (FST) is a very common practice worldwide. The purported effectiveness of many fungicides in providing broad-spectrum and systemic control of important diseases and the perception that FST reduces overall pesticide use,
