The proceedings of EuroBlight’s 15th workshop, held in Brasov, Romania, in 2015, are now available on the network’s website. The main objective of the workshop was to present and discuss recent results on integrated control of late and early blight in potato.
EuroBlight, whose coordinators come from ENDURE partner organisations Wageningen UR, The James Hutton Institute and Aarhus University, addressed two specific themes, examining collaboration between global networks and tackling the increasing problems with fungicide resistance.
The proceedings include:
- Epidemics and control of early and late blight, 2013 and 2014 in Europe
- The potato blight population in Northern Ireland
- Recent developments concerning the population biology and control strategies of Phytophthora infestans in the USA
- Recent developments concerning the population biology and control strategies of Phytophthora infestans in Asia and Africa
- Assessment of genetic hotspots for Phytophthora resistance and their use as molecular markers in potato breeding
- Late blight prediction in Maine
- DuPont™ Zorvec™ disease control: The first member of a novel class of oomycete fungicides
- Impact of oils tank mixed with late blight fungicides on leaf blight control in three growing seasons
- Strategies for the control of early blight (Alternaria solani and A. alternata ) in Denmark
- Study of the epidemiology of Alternaria alternata on potato
- Evidence of strobilurine resistant isolates of A. solani and A. alternata in Germany
- Fungicide strategies against early blight and presence of F129L in Sweden
- New fungicide and bactericide Zeroxxe®: in vitro assessment of fungicidal and bactericidal activity
- Mancozeb: essential tool for sustainable protection of potato against late blight
- Protocol for the artificial inoculation with A. solani in field trials (with infected kernels)
- Virulence of Alternaria strains toward potato and tomato cultivars
- Efforts towards a harmonized early blight detection method, results of the first Alternaria ring test
- Report of the Control Strategies Subgroup meeting on 13 May 2015: Discussion and agreements reached
- State of the art and important research questions: Report from the EuroBlight Alternaria group
EuroBlight’s next workshop is scheduled for May 14 to 17, 2017, and will be held in Aarhus, Denmark.
