ABSTRACT<br />

<strong>Petri</strong> disease of grapevine: Evaluation of fungici<strong>de</strong> efficacy in the protection of<br />

pruning wounds.<br />

Phaeomoniella (Pa.) chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium spp. are responsible for<br />

causing black measles (esca) and <strong>Petri</strong> disease of mature and young grapevines,<br />

respectively. The economic importance of these diseases has increased dramatically<br />

worldwi<strong>de</strong>, thus explaining why they have long been the subject of intense research. In<br />

this study, the pathogenicity of seven isolates of Pa. chlamydospora to Touriga Nacional<br />

vines was confirmed, using two methods of inoculation, spore suspensions and mycelial<br />

discs. The inoculation by mycelial discs was significantly more efficient, by the largest<br />

size of the necroses produced and the highest percentage of reisolation. There were no<br />

differences in virulence among isolates. The efficacy of fungici<strong>de</strong>s in the protection of<br />

pruning wounds was evaluated in the varieties Touriga Nacional and Syrah, using<br />

carben<strong>da</strong>zim+flusilazole as reference. Among the parameters evaluated, the percentage<br />

of reisolation and/or the <strong>de</strong>tection of the pathogen by nested-PCR were those which<br />

proved to be the most reliable. It was observed that the colonization of the vine occurred<br />

mainly above and below the 3rd no<strong>de</strong>. For the Syrah grape variety, two treatments<br />

significantly reduced the percentage of reisolation of Pa. chlamydospora compared to the<br />

control, but they did not differ from the reference fungici<strong>de</strong>. For Touriga Nacional, only<br />

one treatment was comparable to the reference (carben<strong>da</strong>zim+flusilazol).<br />

Key – words: Vitis vinifera, <strong>Petri</strong> disease, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora,<br />

Phaeoacremonium spp., pathogenicity, disease control.<br />
