| Zusammenfassung: | Isolates of Alternaria dauci causing Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) were collected from commercial carrot (Daucus carota var. sativus) fields in northeastern North America during 2004. Twenty-two isolates representing a range of genetic diversity were analyzed for their aggressiveness on three commercial carrot varieties (Bolero, Enterprise, and Heritage) varying in disease susceptibility as well as their in vitro response to three fungicides (azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, and boscalid) commonly used for ALB control. Severity of leaf and petiole blight and leaf chlorosis varied among isolates and carrot varieties in each of three experiments. Visible differences in disease severity, which ranged from 10.9 to 45.1% of the leaf area affected, were apparent 16 days after inoculation. Intensity of chlorosis correlated strongly with blight severity among all isolates. Significant differences were noted among carrot varieties in response to ALB. These varieties may prove useful as differentials capable of distinguishing isolates because variety by isolate interactions were detected. Inhibition of conidial germination ranged from 0.01 to 0.37 μg/ml for azoxystrobin, 0.009 to 0.08 μg/ml for chlorothalonil, and 0.09 to 0.59 μg/ml for boscalid. On average, isolates were more sensitive to chlorothalonil than to azoxystrobin and boscalid. No significant correlation was noted between fungicide sensitivity and aggressiveness. These data provide evidence for phenotypic diversity among A. dauci isolates collected from areas of commercial carrot production |
