Isolates of Botrytis cinerea from containerized conifer seedlings from two
nurseries in the Northern Rocky Mountains were exposed to the
dicarboximide fungicides vinclozolin and iprodione and the chlorinated
nitroaniline fungicide dicloran to evaluate occurrence and characteristics
of resistant strains. The isolates were grown on test media prepared by
incorporating the...
Five fungicides were evaluated to control Botrytis blight of containerized western larch seedlings at the Champion Timberlands Nursery, Plains, MT. Fungicides were applied at biweekly intervals before and after seedling inoculation with Botrytis. Vinclozolin (Ornalin®) caused severe phytotoxicity to seedlings, resulting in enhanced mortality and premature needle loss. Captan and...
Currently, fungicide applications are the predominant method of control for the cool weather pathogen Microdochium patch (Microdochium nivale). Increasing pesticide restrictions have generated concern regarding management of Microdochium patch. Three separate field trials exploring non-traditional fungicides were conducted between 2013 and 2015 on an annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) sand-based...
