Systemic Fungicides

 Not as systemic as you may think.  When fungicide is sprayed on one leaf, it is

not readily moved to other unsprayed leaves. Coverage is still very important.

 Systemic fungicides can move within the

xylem (transpiration stream) in a leaf, resulting in more uniform distribution than that achieved by the initial deposit.

Principles of Resistance Management

 Alternating sprays with fungicides from different

classes (different modes of action) is an important means of resistance management.

 Tank-mixing of different fungicides is also an

acceptable method of resistance management, and both methods are employed.

 Many fungicides are limited to a set number of

applications per year in order to improve their long-term survival. Follow the label recommendations.

Tank Mixing Fungicides for Resistance Management

 Good resistance management tool.  Do not use half rates of a systemic and a contact,

since disease control would be poor and resistance management would be poor (unless known synergy

  • ccurs).

 Contact usually works very quickly, and systemic may

have moderately delayed action, so combination is sometimes good.

 Alternation is a good resistance management scheme,

and the cost issue is avoided.

Resistance Management

 Use the fungicidal rate which results in complete

kill or deactivation of the fungus.

 Reducing rates is a dangerous game, since the

end result may be a “training” of resistant strains.

Path Forward

(1) Continue and expand monitoring for resistance. (2) Incorporate new fungicides with different modes of action, and determine efficacy of

  • ther fungicides and combinations.

(3) Incorporate novel approaches to management, such as timing sprays.
