Results of mixed inoculation experiments with MR and sensitive B. cinerea strains on wounded apple.
| Mixture | Selection | Spore germination on selective medium [%] | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exp. 1 | Exp. 2 | Exp. 3 | Mean | ||
| MR+MDR1: Sensitive | Fen (10 ppm) | 74.5 | 49.8 | 92.7 | 72.3±21.5 |
| MR+MDR1h: Sensitive-S | Fen (10 ppm) | 100 | 76.5 | 63.9 | 80.1±18.3 |
| MR+MDR1: MR | Flu (0.2 ppm) | 100 | 49.0 | 24.8 | 57.9±38.4 |
| MR+MDR1h: MR | Flu (1 ppm) | 66.3 | 58.6 | 68.0 | 64.3±5.0 |
The following strain mixtures (three strains each) were used: MR+MDR1 (B. cinerea N): MR-N7, MR-N8, MR-N10. MR+MDR1h (B. cinerea S): MR-S4, MR-S9, MR-S14. Sensitive (B. cinerea N): Nsens4, Nsens5, Nsens13. Sensitive-S (B. cinerea S): Ssens1, Ssens2, Ssens3. MR: MR-N1, MR-N5, MR-N11. To each wound, 20 μl of 2 × 105 spores/ml were applied, containing a mixture of six (three plus three) B. cinerea strains.
