Notes:
A site with no known history of cereal growing or carbendazim fungicide use was inoculated in 1983 with an equal mixture of spores of R-type and W-type isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides. all sensitive to carbendazim. Following three consecutive years of carbendazim sprays, more than 90% of isolates recovered were carbendazim-resistant. A majority of R-type isolates was recovered after 3 years and resistance was found to be more frequent in R-type than in W-type isolates. A mixture of carbendazim with prochloraz initially delayed the development of carbendazim resistance, but after 3 years the incidence of resistance was similar to that where carbendazim alone was applied. The best control of eyespot was given by the mixture and by a split application of prochloraz in the first year, by the mixture in the second year, and by the split prochloraz application in the final year. A greater proportion of R-type isolates was recovered from prochloraz-treated plots than from unsprayed plots; the proportion of these that were resistant to carbendazim was lower than that from carbendazim treatments. Throughout this study isolates resistant to prochloraz were not detected.
