The pathogenicity of different Botrytis cinerea Pers. isolates to apples and their sensitivity to benzimidazole fungicides

Hanna Bryk

Abstract


The pathogenicity of 80 isolates of Botrytis cinerea Pers. from different hosts to apple fruit was examined. Host specificity among isolates was not found. All of the isolates, independent of their derivation, caused apple fruit rot. Isolates from apple fruits showed moderate and strong pathogenicity to apple fruits. Only 1 of the 22 examined isolates showed weak pathogenicity. Tolerance to benomyl was compared among isolates obtained from apple fruits and from other hosts. It was found that 35% of isolates from apples showed resistance to benomyl. There was no correlation between the pathogenicity of isolates and their resistance to benomyl.
