Project description
Eutypa dieback, caused by the fungus Eutypa lata, is a serious disease in South African vineyards. No fungicide is registered for control of this disease in local vineyards. Studies were therefore undertaken to investigate the effectiveness of fungicides, biological control agents and combinations of fungicides and biological control agents against this pathogen.
Benomyl proved to be an effective fungicide according to the in vitro results. It is still the only fungicide registered for pruning wound protection against Eutypa dieback in America and is therefore recommended for further use in South Africa. Field trials, however, will further test the efficacy of this fungicide when exposed to a wider range of naturally occurring Eutypa ascospores which might vary more in their sensitivity towards fungicides. Tebuconazole, flusilazole, fenarimol and myclobutanil also proved to be effective and might be used as effective alternatives to benomyl, especially in the light of possible resistance towards benomyl. A Trichoderma isolate, isolate T77, was selected according to results obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies of 306 Trichoderma isolates and formulated to be tested in field trials. An antagonistic soil isolate, Tr1, which was insensitive to lower concentrations of the fungicides myclobutanil and fenarimol will be tested as a biological/chemical treatment in the field trials.
These results therefore indicate the possible use of various fungicides, biological, as well as biological/chemical applications for grapevine pruning wound protection against Eutypa dieback.
