10 Resistance management Rotate modes of action Tank-mix Use fungicides less

11 Previous research Eastern U.S. High levels of resistance to important fungicides for Botrytis gray mold control in strawberries Resistance changing over time Isolates resistant to multiple modes of action California Resistance reported to frequently used fungicides Resistance increasing in a population within a season

30 Fungicides applied weekly No fungicides applied Week Sampling time (collection) Resistance testing 1) non-amended control 2) Endura (boscalid) 3) Scholar (fludioxonil) 4) Elevate (fenhexamid)

31 Frequency of resistance (%) Fenhexamid Timing of isolate collection I II III IV V Non-treated Fenhexamid Rotation Tank-mix + rotation Field treatment

32 Frequency of resistance (%) Fludioxonil Timing of isolate collection I II III IV V Non-treated Cyprodinil + fludioxonil Rotation Tank-mix + rotation Fungicide treatment

33 Frequency of resistance (%) Boscalid Timing of isolate collection I II III IV V Non-treated Boscalid + pyraclostrobin Rotation Tank-mix + rotation Fungicide treatment

34 Summary 79 isolates were B. cinerea and one isolate was B. mali. Fungicide resistance frequency was high to FRAC 1, 11, 17 Low frequency of resistance to FRAC 12 Moderate frequency of resistance to FRAC 2, 7, 9 Multi-fungicide resistant isolates were present in all three growing districts. CCR3 was the most common. Few isolates were CCR0 or CCR7. There was an average of 15 applications per season. Captan, a multisite fungicide, was applied the most frequently Site-specific fungicides were applied less than twice per season A within-season increase in CCR frequency was observed in conventional fields.

35 Conclusions Botrytis cinerea is the primary causal agent of strawberry gray mold in California. Other species may exist at low frequencies. The frequency of resistant isolates in a population is a.i. dependent 73% statewide frequency of resistance to fenhexamid 2% statewide frequency of resistance to fludioxonil Fenhexamid was applied less (1.5 times per season) than fludioxonil (2.2) The survey, the CCR shift, and the field trial all indicate that populations of Botrytis may respond rapidly to a single application of a site-specific fungicide The survey: Site-specific fungicides applied < 3 times per season CCR shift: Within-season increase within conventional fields Field trial: Rapid increase in fenhexamid resistance frequency following either one (rotation treatment) or three (fenhexamid treatment) exposures to fenhexamid The field trial indicated that after rapid selection for resistance, the population may revert back to being sensitive if the selection pressure is removed (e.g., fenhexamid).
