Sensitivity to SDHI within an Italian population of Botrytis cinerea

What is it about?

This paper describe the baseline sensitivity to fluopyram within B. cinerea population from Italian table grape vineyards. It clearly shows the lack of cross-resistance in vitro and in vivo between fluopyram and boscalid for the field pathogen isolates. Data provided useful information for fungicide resistance managing of B. cinerea.

Why is it important?

The paper is important for the scientific comunity because it shows as an early sensitivity monitoring from a specific crop to novel fungicide as well as the detection of cross-resistance relationships within SDHIs warrant a careful use and, consequently, the prolonging of SDHIs perfomances.
