Grapevine is an important fruit crop grown in the Chott Sidi Abdel Salam oasis in south eastern Tunisia. It provides great economic potential for the oasis population due to its higher yield and monetary returns. It, also, has a good nutritional value and is consumed fresh or in dried form. Powdery mildew represents one of the most destructive diseases affecting viticulture, especially in temperate-humid climate. It is an economically important fungal disease in the grapevine farms. This pathogen is able to differentially attack leaves and grapes, and is currently controlled with repeated applications of fungicides. This research aimed to use chemical control in order to assess the ability of contact, systemic and the combination of both routes of fungicides’ administration, at three different sampling moments to manage powdery mildew infestation of grapevines (Cv. Bazzoul Kalba), under field conditions. The experiments were conducted in the oasis of Chott Sidi Abdel Salam in southeastern Tunisia. Both Pristine WG and Vectra 10 SC allowed controlling the disease intensity of powdery mildew compared to Talendo® showing a highly significant augmentation of the inhibitory growth potential (84.26% and 88.94%, respectively at 21 days after the first fungicide application) and the protective potential (73.11% and 76.92%, respectively at 21 day). This information can be used to help grapevines growers to improve powdery mildew control and enhance marketable yields.
