BACKGROUND
Light leaf spot, caused by Pyrenopeziza brassicae, is amongst the most damaging diseases of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus), and currently the sterol 14α‐demethylase (CYP51) inhibitors (azoles) represent the main class of fungicides used to control light leaf spot development. However, a shift in sensitivity to azole fungicides in P...
Pyrenopeziza brassicae causes leaf spot disease of Brassicaceae in Europe/Oceania (lineage 1) and US (lineage 2). In Europe, fungicides currently used for disease management are sterol 14α‐demethylase (CYP51) inhibitors (azoles), quinone outside inhibitors (QoIs) and succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs); methyl benzimidazole carbamates (MBCs)...
Fungicide resistance has become a challenging problem in management of Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici , the most destructive disease of winter wheat throughout western and northern Europe. To ensure the continued effectiveness of those fungicides currently used, it is essential to monitor the development and spread of...
Light leaf spot is amongst the most damaging diseases of oilseed rape and a significant threat to Irish crops. Unfortunately, the epidemiology of Pyrenopeziza brassicae, the agent causing this disease, remains poorly understood under Irish growing conditions and fungicides are relied upon to provide control. To investigate if the cropping strategie...
The emergence and spread of Quinone outside Inhibitor (QoI) fungicide resistance in the Irish Zymoseptoria tritici population in the early 2000s had immediate impacts on the efficacy of the entire group of fungicides for the control of septoria tritici blotch. As a result, a dramatic reduction in the quantities applied to winter wheat occurred in t...
Cultivation of vegetables is expected to increase in order to meet the demands of the expanding populations of the globe. Meanwhile, anthropic activities increase the concentrations of various chemical compounds in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. For productivity and food safety reasons, assessments of effects of pesticides and metals on crops sh...
The oxidative stress at the vegetable organisms represents a complex chemical and physiologic phenomenon which appears as a result of the different influence of biotic and abiotic stressor factors, the negative strong impact of these ones being due to the massive superproduction and to the accumulation of the oxygen reactive species. The present ma...
