Abstract
Botrytis cinerea was isolated from infected plants in six greenhouses in Connecticut. Forty-five isolates were evaluated in vitro to determine fungicide sensitivity to benzimidazole (benomyl and thiophanate-methyl) and dicarboximide fungicides (vinclozolin and iprodione). B. cinerea isolates with fungicide resistance were recovered from each greenhouse sampled. Benzimida-zole resistance was more common than dicarboximide resistance (74 to 76% versus 36 to 43%, respectively). Multiple fungicide resistance was common. Nineteen isolates were resistant to both a benzimidazole and a dicarboximide fungicide. The level (EC50) of resistance to dicer-boximides was low compared with resistance to benzimidazoles. Isolate growth rate was not correlated to fungicide sensitivity or EC50. Fungicide resistance was apparently unrelated to the patterns of fungicide use in greenhouses sampled.Keywords
