A two-year (2018/19 and 2019/20) field experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of recently developed fungicide combinations (with different modes action) towards fungal diseases on seven bread eight durum wheat varieties. The trial performed at FIELDLAB experimental station University Perugia (Italy). were assessed under natural pressure except for Fusarium head blight (FHB) which a...

Wheat is one of the most economically important field crops worldwide. Foliar diseases are a major threat to wheat productivity and primarily managed by implementing less susceptible cultivars using fungicides. With “Farm Fork” strategy under consideration European Union reduce pesticide usage 50% 2030, this elucidates importance utilizing decision support systems (DSS) optimize fungicide appli...

This study follows on from a previous showing that binary mixtures of wheat cultivars affect the evolution Zymoseptoria tritici populations within field epidemic beginning (t1) to end (t2) growing season. Here, we focused impact interseason sexual reproduction this evolution. We studied susceptible and resistant (carrying Stb16q, recently broken-down resistance gene) in proportions 0.25, 0.5 0....

Pathogenicity tests verifying the behavior of Septoria tritici isolates should be considered as a priority in the selection of resistant wheat materials to this pathogen, since the aggressiveness of each isolate can vary significantly, causing problems in the evaluation and selection of resistant genotypes. The objective of this work was to determine whether physiologic specialization exists am...
