However, fenhexamid-resistant populations of this pathogen have progressively increased in vineyards under fungicide use. Botrytis cinerea isolates were collected in ‘Thompson Seedless’ vineyards under fenhexamid control programmes (>two sprays per season) from three regions of Central Chile, during the 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 growing seasons. Focusing on the 2015-2016 growing season when the greatest level of resistance was measured, only 8% of recovered isolates were sensitive to fenhexamid with 92% of isolates exceeding the sensitivity threshold for mycelium growth. All fenhexamid resistant isolates analyzed carried a mutation in the Erg27 gene, which encodes for 3-keto reductase (3-KR) enzyme. The largest proportion of isolates presented a single-point mutation, leading to a substitution of phenylalanine by serine or ...

Furthermore, other symptoms such as wilting leaves, cankers, bark cracking, emission of gum exudates and internal wood necrosis were detected on trees of "Bing", "Santina" and "Sweetheart" cultivars (Cainelli et al. 2017). Wood fragments from symptomatic branches were surface sterilized with 95% ethanol, flaming and placed onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) amended with 0.5 g liter −1 of streptomycin sulfate (Berbegal et al. 2014). After 7 days of incubation at 25°C, pink to red colonies with white margins were isolated. Each isolate was characterized by having hyaline and oblong-ellipsoidal conidia of 5.76 ± 0.88 × 1.76 ± 0.36 μm (n=100) (Trouillas et al. 2012). According to these morphological features, the fungus was identified as Calosphaeria pulchella (Pers.: Fr.

Al mismo tiempo se evaluó posibles alternativas de control, mediante el uso de fungicidas. A través de sucesivos aislamientos desde frutos enfermos y posteriores inoculaciones en frutos sanos, se identificó Ulocladium cucurbitae (Letendre and Roum.) Simmons como el agente causal de la ¿picada negra¿. Finalmente se procedió a evaluar la respuesta de diferentes fungicidas in vitro e in vivo. El estudio in vitro se dividió en dos ensayos, en el primero se evaluó iprodione, prochloraz-carbendazim, iprodione-bromuconazole, folpet, metconazole, chlorothalonil, mancozeb, imazalil, epoxiconazole-kresoxim metil y benomyl. En un segundo ensayo se seleccionaron los tres fungicidas más efectivos en la inhibición del desarrollo del micelio de U. cucurbitae. Con los tres fungicid...

X. rivesi is a vector of at least four North American nepoviruses including Cherry rasp leaf virus (CRLV), Tobacco ringspot virus (TobRSV), Tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV), and Peach rosette mosaic virus (PRMV) (2). TomRSV, first reported in Chile in 1984, was associated with raspberry decline and lately with brownline disease in D'Agen prune trees (1), however none of the Xiphinema spp. found in Chile have been reported to transmit this nepovirus. Two virus isolates, TomRSV (prune brownline isolate PBL-08) and Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) (Yellow mosaic isolate GFLV-012), from the virus collection of the Departamento de Sanidad Vegetal, Universidad de Chile were used in transmission tests with a population of X. rivesi found in Chile. X. rivesi is not known to transmit GFLV and this virus was included as a check. The nematodes were extracted from soil...

During the summer of 2006, 2- to 5-year-old grapevines showed reduced vigor, shortened internodes, and drying and dying shoots along with abnormal development of roots with growth parallel to the soil surface, necrotic root crowns, and development of secondary roots. Internal necrosis extended from the bark to the pith in diseased parts of the plants. Other symptoms included black discoloration of the wood, gum inclusions in xylem vessels, black streaks in the vascular tissue, and reduction in root biomass, with sunken, necrotic root lesions. Eighteen Cylindrocarpon isolates were collected from roots, vascular elements, and pith tissue of grapevines cultivars (Flame Seedless, Red Globe, Thompson Seedless, Merlot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Sauvignon) from 12 locations in Chile. The isolates were identified on th...

Hort 16A, was first planted in Chile in 2003 and vines started dying within 2 years. By the end of the 2007–2008 growing season, as much as 80% of the plants in several orchards had died. The disease was characterized by a conspicuous reddish brown discoloration of the xylem and the sudden wilting and dieback of plants any time during the growing season. In the spring, entire plants or parts of plants failed to break buds. In others, the buds broke, but juvenile leaf clusters then wilted and died. On severely affected plants, scion watershoots wilted and died. The disease was often accompanied by shallow cracking of the bark and slight sponginess of the underlying cortex. The disease was apparently most severe in sites that had been planted to Gold kiwifruit immediately after removal of apple, pear, citrus, or grape. Orchards planted following long-term maize, wheat, or grass culture were almost disease free. A fungus was consistently i...

Mugnai) Crous & Gams (= Phaeoacremonium chlamydosporum) was isolated during the growing seasons of 2003-2004 from roots, trunks, and cordons of grapevines, including cvs. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot noir, Thompson seedless, Ruby seedless and root stock 3309C, and Kober 5BB, from 10 locations in V, VI, VII, and metropolitan regions of Chile. P. chlamydospora was isolated from 82% of samples from vines 2 to 18 years old that showed decline symptoms in the field. Isolates were identified on the basis of a previous description (1) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) rDNA sequences identical to those of P. chlamydospora isolated from Vitis vinifera (culture CBS 22995, GenBank Accession No. AF 197973). P. chlamydospora is established as a member of the petri and esca disease complex and as a pathogen of grapevines (2,3). Pathogenicity tests were completed by injecting into the pith of 50 single-node, roote...

Several fungi have been reported to be associated with post-harvest rots of kiwifruit worldwide (2). During 2011 and 2012, kiwifruit produced in the VI and VII regions of Chile, showing symptoms of inner rot, were investigated with the aim of identifying the disease agent. The affected fruits had brown pubescent skin at the stem end that became soft and lighter in color than the adjacent firm healthy tissues. A watery exudate and white to pale grayish mycelial mats frequently developed at the stem end of the fruit, causing a water-drop stain down the sides on the dry brown healthy skin. The underlying tissue accessed by peeling off the skin was usually water soaked, soft, and lighter green than the healthy tissue. A fermented sour odor occurred frequently on severely decayed fruits. After incubation at 25°C over 7 days on potato dextrose agar (PDA), white to grayish, pale aerial mycelial mats were recovered from fragment...

After reaching the flower development stage, B. cinerea remains quiescent until berry ripening or gives rise to blossom blight under specific climate conditions. A research study was conducted on the Chilean Central Valley during the 2018–2019 growing season. Flowers of Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless were collected and B. cinerea was isolated together to a second and morphologically different species, characterized by white mycelium and low to no sporulation (11.4% of total isolates). Three randomly selected isolates within this population were genetically examined and identified as Botrytis prunorum based on a phylogenetic multilocus approach using partial regions of genes RPB2, HSP60, and G3PDH or NEP1 and NEP2. Pathogenicity tests showed that B. prunorum infects and causes wilting in healthy table grape flowers. B. prunorum isolates were able to infect Thompson Seedless berries, indu...
