Cover Story: Thirty-six fungicides were sprayed on single colonies of Podosphaera aphanis on the leaves of strawberry seedlings. Asexual conidia were collected from single P. aphanis colonies on the leaves spray-treated with fungicides using an electrostatic spore collector. Using the electrostatic technique, we confirmed that P. aphanis developed resistance to both thiophanate-methyl and azoxystrobin, as has previously been established. Thus, this methodological assessment analyzing the colony development and number of conidia released from single colonies will be helpful information for screening effective fungicides. View this paper
