Abstract
Some plant diseases are becoming very difficult to control due to lack of host resistance cultivars and limited availability of fungicides for crop protection. Fungicide resistance, tighter regulations and a slowing pipeline of new products are reducing the range of available chemical classes. This leads to greater dependence on fewer active ingredients with fungicide modes of action, and…
Development of a joint platform for disease epidemics monitoring and fungicide resistance detection to foster a smart program for management of wheat blast in Paraná and São Paulo states, AP.R
Abstract
Resistance to chemical agents used to control pests, weeds and pathogens is a threat to effective crop protection and therefore to food security. Tighter regulations and a slowing pipeline of new products have also reduced the range of available chemical classes. This has led to a greater dependence on fewer fungicides and mode of actions, increasing the selection for further cases of res…

Detection and monitoring of fungicide resistance in populations of the wheat blast pathogen using novel spore-trapping device, BP.TT
Abstract
In this study we intend to determine if bacteria from the genus Pseudomonas and fungi from the genus Trichoderma have potential as antagonists toPyricularia graminis-tritici, the causal agent of the wheat blast disease. The disease is considered one of the most important, causing yield losses of up to 100% to the wheat crops. Chemical control with fungicides is the main management strateg…
