Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

check the names of chemical substances  for instance Strobilurines is written wrong at least once

Author Response

We are grateful for the positive opinion.  English has been carefully edited once more by an outside lector. The typo in "strobilurines" has been corrected and we double checked spelling of chemical substances once more.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article is well written. Some minor comments

-Always a sentence should be started with the full scientific name

Author Response

Thank You for the positive opinion which helped to improove the manuscript. 

Note1: Always a sentence should be started with the full scientific name
Thank You for pointing this out. During language editing, all instances where the sentence started iwth a latin name, the genus is written out and not abbreviated.

Note2: -anamorph and teleomorph need to be changed to asexual and sexual morph
We replaced anamorph and teleomorph to asexual stage and sexual stage.

Reviewer 3 Report

Concerning the paper „Black rot of grapes (Guignardia bidwellii) – A comprehensive overview” on pruning, I think it is an useful paper that illustrates up dated pathogen knowledge , its epidemiology and the management of disease (Minor revision). It will be a valuable source of information for science audience who works on this issue.

Some details that should be corrected is concering black rot as disease and Guignardia bidwellii as pathogen , namely authors should correct some parts in the text e.g. line 122 „Black rot of grapes is a typical polycyclic pathogen ….”; black rot is not a pathogen it is disease, please correct or rewritte thorough the whole text.

 

Author Response

Thank You very much for the positive review. Your remark ("Some details that should be corrected is concering black rot as disease and Guignardia bidwellii as pathogen , namely authors should correct some parts in the text e.g. line 122 „Black rot of grapes is a typical polycyclic pathogen ….”; black rot is not a pathogen it is disease, please correct or rewritte thorough the whole text.") is completely valid, thank you for pointing this out. We carefully screened the document and named the disease where the disease is discussed and the pathogen where the pathogen was discussed.
