CONIDIA CONIPHY launched a new service to track fungicide resistance

Fungi RESIST can alert and measure resistance against fungicides used in the field. Downy mildew of grapevines is a devastating disease, and the use of fungicides is important to control and protect grapevines. An effective fungicide-resistance surveillance system is essential to detect fungicide resistance quickly before it spreads, helping preserve fungicide effectiveness and crop protection.  

In the context of global agricultural awareness of fungicide use, Fungi RESIST can provide data to manage treatments better, respect the environment, and preserve the effectiveness of fungicides in the field.

Fungi RESIST was applied to more than 300 downy mildew samples to track fungicide resistance. Samples were collected in France and several European countries. In one analysis, Fungi RESIST mapped resistance to almost six fungicides used against downy mildew. Data collected over the last three years highlight newly emerging resistance and help establish strategies to manage resistance to fungicides.

This tool is available to detect fungicide resistance in grapevine downy mildew and will soon be released for Septoria tritici blotch of wheat and grapevine powdery mildew.
