Abstract

An investigation of the sensitivity of Puccinia striiformis (yellow rust of wheat) to DMI fungicides in 1997 provided clear evidence of a recent shift towards insensitivity.

The objectives of the study were to determine whether the sensitivity of yellow rust to DMI fungicides has declined since 1990 and to confirm cross-insensitivity between older and more recent DMIs.
