Q

Potato/Early Blight

Recommendations

A

Fungicides be tank-mixed and alternated with chemistries of different mode of actions

Fungicides with the same mode of action should not be applied in consecutive applications

Selecting later-maturing cultivars, which are less susceptible to early blight, can reduce the number of fungicide applications

Example → Alto 100 SL recommends spreading/penetrator type adjuvant be added to the fungicide to enehance coverage and efficacy
50
What are the fungicides associated with the pathogen that can lead to fungicide resistance in a fungus
Resistance to a fungus is likely to occur within fungal populations that have a high level of genetic diversity Fungi that have a short generation time Fungi that produce a large number of spores will associate the pathogen that leads to fungicide resistance
51
What is EC50
the dose that provides 50% inhibition of the isolate as compared to a no fungicide control
52
How are values of EC50 graphed
Graphed in a frequency histogram to determine the baseline Adequate sampling is necessary to measure the population sensitivity to the fungicide
53
What are the factors assciated with the fungicide that can lead to fungicide resistane in a fungus
Fungicidies with a single site are at a higher risk than fungicides with multiple sites of action that lead to resistance fungicides that typically are applied other disesas symptoms may be more prone to fungicide resistance
54
How would you diagnose for fungicide resistance
Important to establish a baseline Baseline describes the sensitivity of a given collection of isolates to a specific fungicide prior to them being exposed to that fungicide

72
Do the Qoi fungicides have similar redistribution properties
Most of Qoi fungicides are moved by **translaminar** Translaminar redistribute the fungicide from the upper, sprayed leaf surface to the lower unsprayed surface
73

78
For those years, where the average EC50 values are greater for isolates compared to the average EC50 values of the baseline isolates, can we assume that the fungus has developed some level of resistance to tetraconazole?
When the levels were high the crop developed resistance to the tetraconazole because more fungicide was needed to control the disease More fungicide being applied the higher the risk you run of having resistant to the fungicide
79
Based on this data, can we recommend that the farner use fluopyram or another SDHI fungicide in place of bosclaid? What are the recommendations to manage SDHI fungicide resistance
Yes, the farmer used fluopyram or another SDHI in palce of boscalid because of the amount of resistnat still around at 200 to 500 EC Fluopyram is only showed on the graph until 4 EC suggust that the farmer is using Fluopyram Can be tank mixed and alternated with chemistries of different mode of action

112
Do you think adding an adjuvant to the fungicide program can help manage dry bean rust at 21 days since the final application of fungicide
Yes, because the rust count was low compared to the control group what was 106 and when using a fungicide program and with a adjuvants the counts were below 15 To control the rust i would say using the funigicide program + Latron AG-98 was the most effective to keep the rust count down
113

114
Changes in reflectance of light from leaf tissue of the plants can occur as a result of infection by powdery mildew, rust and leaf spot pathogens. Is there any difference in how the light reflects when these differetn pathogen infect?
During pathogensis leaf pathogens influence leaf structural and chemical properties and cuase of this the leaf optics are altered
115
Based on the prescription map, it is recommended to the grower that they spray fungicides in the green portion of the map. How reliable is NDVI to determine fungicide efficacy and to provide fungicide recommendations to growers in soybean?
