Figures & data

Table 1. Changes in the proportion of the area under conventional field crop management1 that was treated with fungicide each year, based on Canadian Census of Agriculture figures.

Fig. 1 (Colour online) Isolates of Fusarium sambucinum recovered from diseased potatoes and grown on potato dextrose agar plates supplemented with 10 mg L−1 thiabendazole to assess fungicide sensitivity. Isolates sensitive (A) or insensitive (B) to benzimidazole fungicides were recovered in similar ratios over a 20-year period.

Fig. 2 (Colour online) Isolates of Phytophthora infestans genotype US-23 grown on V8-potato dextrose medium supplemented with 5 mg L−1metalaxyl. Almost all of the Canadian isolates of P. infestans genotype US-23 were sensitive to metalaxyl (right) in 2010, but had been replaced by insensitive isolates (left) by 2013v.

Capped lines indicate standard error.
