Recent evolution of multiple resistance of Blumeria (Erysiphe) graminis f.sp. tritici to selected DMI and morpholine fungicides in France
1998

Fungicides inhibiting sterol biosynthesis are frequently used for powdery mildew control and can be subdivided into sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) and morpholines with different modes of action. Whereas fungicide resistance to DMIs (Rdmi) and morpholines (Rmor) has been continuously monitored, there are no data available on the combination of Rdmi and Rmor, which led us to ask whether multiple resistance to triadimenol (Rtria), representing DMIs and to fenpropimorph (Rfen), representing the morpholines, evolved in France from 1993 to 1996. The method used allowed testing of both chemicals simultaneously, with the same inoculum. In 1993, the resistance factor of the mean (RFM) of the French wheat mildew population was 9(.)59 for Rtria and 5(.)11 for Rfen. Resistance increased, leading to RFMs of close to 14 for Rtria and 8 for Rfen at the end of the study. From the analysis of single colony isolates (SCI) that are genetically uniform, the presence of multiple resistance and its increase were evident and in line with the results of bulk isolates. Covariance of resistance to both chemicals was close to one. In contrast to the increase of Rfen, the use of morpholines decreased. These effects are supposed to result from multiple selection due to the use of mixtures of DMIs and morpholines that have been favoured in recent years. Fungicide sensitivity is, in general, not normally but lognormally distributed in a population. A new way to evaluate and describe lognormal data is presented. It is easy and convenient to use and provides solutions for current problems in the literature with lognormal distributions. Multiple resistance, its evolution and persistance are discussed in relation to fungicide use and to implications for anti-resistance strategies.
