This study was initiated to quantify the baseline sensitivity of apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) to fenarimol, an ergosterol synthesis-inhibiting fungicide. In 1988, 576 monoconidial isolates of Venturia inaequalis were collected from 26 commercial orchards throughout Quebec. Sensitivity to fenarimol was assessed by radial growth inhibition assay. The ED50 values for the 26 orchards ranged from 0.024 to 5.212 (μ g mL-1 with a mean ED50 of 0.156 μg ml-1. Reduced sensitivity, expressed as ED50, was found in three orchards for an overall frequency of 4.51% of isolates. Sensitive isolates had a mean ED50 of 0.079 μg ml-1, whereas isolates with reduced sensitivity had a mean ED50 of 1.714 μ g mL-1, yielding a resistance factor of about 22. Four populations were identified based on the frequency distribution of ED50 values.

Abstract Though profitable crop production can be more simply achieved by using synthetic pesticides, the research of alternative plant protection solutions is necessary. The effect of the volatile oils of cinnamon, thyme, and a copper ingredient fertilizer were tested for their activity against apple scab and powdery mildew in apple orchards in 2014 and 2017. Oils applied alone or in combination were effective against apple scab in 2014 and in 2017 and against powdery mildew on leaves in 2017. The copper ingredient fertilizer product improved the efficacy of the oils. The results of these trials show that the tested volatile oils are suitable candidates for further research and for the development of organic fungicides against the diseases of apple.

This study presents the results of a multiple-year evaluation (1991-1996; 2005-2007) of susceptibility of more than 100 apple cultivars to Venturia inaequalis, Podosphaera leucotricha and Erwinia amylovora under agroecological conditions existing in Serbia. Some of the most popular cultivars were found highly susceptible to V. inaequalis (Cripps Pink, Mutsu, Gloster 69, Wellspur); while Golden Delicious, Richared, Gala, Cacanska pozna, Cadel and Jonagold were susceptible; Idared, Granny Smith and Jonathan moderately susceptible; Lord Lamburne and London Pepping, as well as several autochthonous cultivars were moderately resistant; and a group of resistant cultivars included Prima, Priscilla, Williams Pride, Dayton, Enterprise, Gold Rush, Golden Orange, many of the Re-cultivars (Germany), as well as Baujade, Selena, Duk?t, Produkta, Topaz, some older cvs. (Worcester Pearmain, Merton Worcester, James Grieve, Akane, Astilish, Astrachan Red and Discovery), some Co-op selections (USA) and NS hybrids (Serbia). Regarding powdery mildew, Idared and Jonathan were highly susceptible; Gala, Akane, Jonagold, Priscilla, Mutsu, Cacanska pozna, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Cadel and GoldRush were susceptible; Wellspur, Astrachan Red, Richared, Jonadel, Dayton and several autochthonous cultivars were moderately susceptible; Lord Lamburne, Astlisch, Prima, Champagne Reinette, Discovery and many autochthonous cultivars were moderately resistant; while most Re-cvs. (Germany), several cultivars from the Czech Republic, some selections from the USA and UK and most NS hybrids (Serbia) were resistant. Also, some cultivars showed variable susceptibility depending on location (Williams Pride, Gloster 69, Baujade and Produkta). E. amylovora was observed only in 2007 and at relatively low intensity (up to 12% infection). The highest disease severity was observed on cv. Elstar, then Granny Smith, Idared and Jonagored; while the lowest was found on Red Chief and Hapke apple trees.

Summary. Twenty apple cultivars were assessed over 3 seasons for their susceptibility to natural infection with scab (caused by Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera leucotricha). It was evident that a number of important commercial cultivars are highly susceptible to leaf scab (average incidence of leaf scab: Pink Lady, 40.2% of leaves; Lady William, 37.1%; Braeburn, 20.0%; and New Jonagold, 18.7%) and powdery mildew (average incidence of leaf mildew: New Jonagold, 23.0%; Pink Lady, 17.8%). There was a high level of resistance to leaf scab in the cultivars Florina-Quérina, Redfree and Jonafree (all less than 1% incidence on leaves) and to powdery mildew in the cultivar Earlidel (no infection observed). The cultivars Jonathan, Bonza and Red Elstar showed a useful level of resistance to scab (average incidence of leaf scab between 1.6 and 3.2%), while the cultivars Red Fuji, HiEarly and Redfree all showed some resistance to powdery mildew (average incidence of mildew between 2.6 and 5.9%). Observations made on the low and variable numbers of fruit produced by some trees in their third year after planting showed that Pink Lady and Lady William were highly susceptible to fruit scab (67.6 or 57.6% scabbed fruit respectively). Twig infection by scab was also observed on shoots of the current season’s growth of Pink Lady.

Studies were conducted from 1997 to 1999 to evaluate the effect of processed kaolin-based particle film applications on the incidence and severity of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) diseases. Greenhouse and field studies demonstrated that pre-emptive application of hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles reduced the incidence of fire blight (Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al.) in blossoms and injured shoots. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic particles suppressed sooty blotch (Gloeodes pomigena (Schwein.)) and flyspeck (Schizothyrium pomi (Mont. & Fr.) Arx: anamorph Zygophiala jamaicensis Mason) to levels equivalent to conventional fungicides. In field studies, apple scab (Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) Wint.: anamorph Spilocaea pomi Fr.) was not suppressed by hydrophilic particles. Hydrophilic particles did not interfere with the action of conventional fungicides or the activity of calcium hydroxide to suppress apple scab. Hydrophilic particles did reduce powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha (Ell. & Ev.) E.S. Salmon (anamorph Oidium farinosum Cooke)) russetting on fruit, but leaf infection was extensive.
