Sensitivity of Cercospora beticola isolates to carbendazime and flutriafol in Serbia

Abstract

The sensitivity of 110 Cercospora beticola (Sacc.) isolates to carbendazime (benzimidazoles) and flutriafol (triazole DMI) was investigated. Isolates on PDA were obtained from diseased sugar leaves collected in 11 localities in Serbia during the August 2007. The medium effective concentration (EC50), the relative sensitivity (b) and the level of resistance (NR) in relation to the most sensitive isolate were calculated the method applied by Karaoglanidis et al. (2000). The obtained results confirmed already resistance of Serbian isolates of C. beticola to carbendazime, but for the first time isolates from Erdevik and Maradik showed a significantly decreased sensitivity to flutriafol.

Ispitivana je osetljivost izolata Cercospora beticola (Sacc.), prouzrokovača pegavosti lišća šećerne repe iz 11 lokaliteta u Srbiji prema karbendazimu (grupa benzimidazola) i flutriafolu (grupa triazola DMI) tokom 2007. godine. Uzorkovanje je obavljeno tokom avgusta meseca. Za ispitivane izolate izračunate su srednje efektivne koncentracije (EC50), relativna osetljivost (b) i nivo rezistentnosti (NR) u odnosu na najosetljiviji izolat, po metodi Karaoglanidis i sar. (2000). Dobijeni rezultati su potvrdili već ranije dokazanu rezistetnost izolata C. beticola poreklom iz Srbije na karbendazim, ali po prvi put i značajno smanjenu osetljivost izolata poreklom iz Erdevika i Maradika prema flutriafolu.
