Grapevine Gray Mold in France

  • Chapter
Fungicide Resistance in Plant Pathogens

Abstract

Chemical control remains the main approach for decreasing the incidence of gray mold, a disease of many crops, including grapevine, caused principally by Botrytis cinerea. Fungicides with seven different modes of action are currently authorized in French vineyards, but specific resistance has developed against five of these modes of action. Multidrug resistance caused by fungicide efflux has been detected and affects all the classes of fungicide used. Here, we present the history and current status of resistance to the various botryticides in French vineyards. We also discuss resistance management options, based on decreases in the number of botryticide applications per season and the alternation of single products from different classes of molecules with different biochemical modes of action.
