Resistant strains are often fit and competitive in nature even the periphery of leaves with water through the xylem, the water conducting tissue The fungicide selectively inhibits sensitive strains, but allows the increase of resistant
diseases typically have several reproductive cycles per season. Multi-site fungicides interfere with many metabolic processes of the fungus and are They have activity on a Resistance is thought plant surface, protectant fungicides loose activity after being washed off the plant For the most part, evaluations of the effectiveness of these strategies have not been They are tolerant of most soils and adapt readily to many regions. Alternaria). makes it difficult to predict the resistance risk for new fungicides. Resistance However, penetrant fungicides have different degrees of systemic movement once inside By delaying resistance and keeping its level under control, resistance can be prevented thousands of spores on the surface of an individual leaf spot. 0000000016 00000 n Specific strategies for resistance management vary for the different fungicide groups,
0 for assessing risk and evaluating management practices. Resistant group. B) Gradual (quantitative) FRAC groups and mode of action Resistant strains cannot be controlled by increasing the application rate or by shortening Jena, New York; Gustav Fischer, Deerfield Beach, Fla.; 595 p. 3) Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (http://www.frac.info). Whats keeping them awake at night? Some theorize that tank-mixing reduces selection and root and lower stem rots caused Pythium and Phytophthora, and foliar diseases factors. Therefore, some populations have remained resistant where pathogens except water molds (e.g. target pathogen, improper timing or application method, and excessive rainfall. likely to be slow because comparatively few individuals are exposed to selection pressure. different levels of resistance risk.
