Rose blight caused by Phytophthora nagaii and Phytophthora bishii, is an emerging disease in Taiwan. It primarily infects the underground parts of roses, leading to root and basal stem rot, and, in severe cases, plant death. This study aimed to identify disease-resistant rose cultivars and screen chemicals for effective disease management. Inoculation experiments using potted rose cultivars revealed that‘Wannianhong,’‘Puli Star,’‘Jade White,’and‘Goldelse’were highly susceptible, while‘Grape Iceberg’and‘White Iceberg’exhibited resistance. Field trials under natural infection conditions corroborated these findings, with‘Wannianhong’and‘Puli Star’high susceptibility, whereas‘Grape Iceberg’and‘White Iceberg’symptomless. To identify effective fungicides, 18 commercially available chemicals were screened for their inhibitory effects on the growth of pathogen mycelia on agar medium. Among them, 12 fungicides exhibited strong inhibitory effects (IC50 < 10 mg/L). These fungicides were further evaluated by applying twice on potted roses, once at 3 days and before the other at 4 days after artificial inoculation. The results indicated that potassium phosphite, neutralized phosphorous acid,‘fluopicolide+ propamocarb hydrochloride’, mandipropamid, and‘ametoctradin + dimethomorph’significantly suppressed disease development. Field trials demonstrated that neutralized phosphorous acid and potassium phosphite offered the highest effectiveness in disease control, followed by‘fluopicolide + propamocarb hydrochloride’, while the other tested fungicides (dimethomorph and mandipropamid) showed no significant efficacy. These findings contribute to the development of integrated disease management strategies for the control of rose blight, emphasizing on cultivar selection and effective fungicide application. |
