CONIDIA CONIPHY has added a new service to its portfolio to detect and monitor fungicide resistance of downy mildew disease in grapevine. After 5 years of research, development efforts and investment in new DNA/gene sequencing technologies, CONIDIA CONIPHY launched a new innovative method/tool: Fungi RESIST.
Fungi RESIST can alert and measure resistance against fungicides used in the field. Downy mildew of grapevines is a devastating disease, and the use of fungicides is important to control and protect grapevines. An effective fungicide-resistance surveillance system is essential to detect fungicide resistance quickly before it spreads, helping preserve fungicide effectiveness and crop protection.
In the context of global agricultural awareness of fungicide use, Fungi RESIST can provide data to manage treatments better, respect the environment, and preserve the effectiveness of fungicides in the field.
Fungi RESIST was applied to more than 300 downy mildew samples to track fungicide resistance. Samples were collected in France and several European countries. In one analysis, Fungi RESIST mapped resistance to almost six fungicides used against downy mildew. Data collected over the last three years highlight newly emerging resistance and help establish strategies to manage resistance to fungicides.
This tool is available to detect fungicide resistance in grapevine downy mildew and will soon be released for Septoria tritici blotch of wheat and grapevine powdery mildew.
About CONIDIA CONIPHY:
CONIDIA CONIPHY is a laboratory specialising in microbiology and molecular biology based in Lyon, France. Founded in 2005, CONIDIA CONIPHY has acquired expertise in the interactions of microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, and algae) with their environment across various fields: cosmetics, air quality, and plant pathogens. For over 15 years, CONIDIA CONIPHY has developed new methods in molecular biology to detect plant pathogens and mutations that confer resistance to fungicides. At CONIDIA CONIPHY, innovation and the use of cutting-edge technologies directly add value for our clients.
