A simple, inexpensive bioassay successfully differentiated dicarboximi
de-resistant and dicarboximide-sensitive isolates of Botrytis cinerea.
Inoculum was placed directly into vinclozolin-containing droplets on
the growing tips of seedlings of the sunflower cultivar Sunspot. Resis
tant isolates killed fungicide-treated and fungicide-free seedlings in
3-7 days, whereas sensitive isolates killed only fungicide-free seedl
ings.
