Sensitivity to the Demethylation Inhibitor Difenoconazole Among Baseline Populations of Various Penicillium spp. Causing Blue Mold of Apples and Pears.

ABSTRACT: Difenoconazole (DIF), a demethylation inhibitor fungicide, was registered in 2016 for the control of postharvest diseases of pome fruits. In this study, 162 isolates from P. expansum (n = 31) and 13 other "non-expansum" Penicillium spp., i.e., P. solitum (n = 52), P. roqueforti (n = 32), P. commune (n = 15), P. paneum (n = 9), P. psychrosexuale (n = 8), P. crustosum (n = 5), P. carneum (n = 3), P. palitans (n = 2), along with one isolate each of P. citrinum, P. griseofulvum, P. raistrickii, P. ribium, and P. viridicatum, were collected from multiple packinghouses in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
