ABSTRACT

Phoma black stem (PBS), caused by Phoma macdonaldii Boerema (teleomorph Leptosphaeria lindquistii Frezzi), is the most common stem disease of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in the northern Great Plains region of the United States. However, the impact of PBS on sunflower yield in the United States is unclear, and a near complete absence of information on the impact of fungicides on disease management exists. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of PBS on sunflower yield, the efficacy of available fungicides, the optimal fungicide application timing, and the economic viability of fungicides as a management tool. Fungicide timing efficacy was evaluated by applying single and/or sequential applications of pyraclostrobin fungicide at three sunflower growth stages in 10 field trials between 2017 and 2019. Efficacy of 10 fungicides from the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) groups 3, 7, and 11 were evaluated in four field trials between 2018 and 2019. The impact of treatments on PBS were evaluated by determination of incidence, severity, maximum lesion height, disease severity index (DSI), and harvested yield. Nine of the 10 fungicides evaluated and all fungicide timings that included an early bud application resulted in disease reductions when compared with the nontreated controls. The DSI was negatively correlated to sunflower yield in high-yield environments (P = 0.0004; R2 = 0.3425) but not in low- or moderate-yield environments. Although FRAC 7 fungicides were generally most efficacious, the sufficient efficacy and lower cost of FRAC 11 fungicides make them more economically viable in high-yielding environments at current market conditions.

ABSTRACT

Sunflower rust is an important yield-limiting disease in sunflower production in the Great Plains of the United States. Rust severity and incidence have increased between 2002 and 2011, and genetic resistance is limited in most commercial hybrids, particularly the high-value confectionary market type. Although fungicides are available for rust management in the United States, management recommendations are insufficient. Specifically, efficacy and timing data are very limited for fungicides in FRAC groups 7 and 11. Seventeen fungicide efficacy and timing trials were conducted between 2008 and 2011 in North Dakota. Timings evaluated across the four years included single or multiple applications at growth stages (GS): GS V8-V12 (late vegetative), GS R1 (terminal bud formation), GS R3-4 (elongation of bud), GS R5 (flowering), and GS R6 (completion of flowering). With few exceptions, fungicide applications of DMIs and QoIs controlled disease greater than SDHI fungicides. Fungicide applications made at R5, either singly or in combination, consistently resulted in greater disease control. A negative correlation (r = -0.7756) between disease control and yield was observed, resulting in a yield reduction of 6.6% for every 1% increase in disease severity.
