Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect SDHI fungicides were the most efficacious class for spring dead spot across pathogen species.
- Intervention effect Isofetamid had low EC50 and generally excellent spring dead spot suppression.
- Intervention effect Penthiopyrad had low EC50 and generally excellent spring dead spot suppression.
- Intervention effect Pydiflumetofen had low EC50 and generally excellent spring dead spot suppression.
- Recommendation Authors recommend selecting fungicides according to the predominant Ophiosphaerella species or choosing one effective against both.
