Evidence for rapid adaptive evolution of tolerance to chemical treatments in Phytophthora species and its practical implications

Abstract: Chemical treatments are used widely in agricultural and natural settings to protect plants from diseases; however, they may exert an important selection pressure on plant pathogens, promoting the development of tolerant isolates through adaptive evolution. Phosphite is used to manage diseases caused by Phytophthora species which include a large number of the most economically damaging plant pathogens worldwide. Phosphite controls the growth of Phytophthora species in planta without killing it; as a result, iso… Show more

“…Although treatment is quick, easy and relatively cheap (a few minutes and less than a dollar for most trees, depending on size), repeated treatments over large areas may not be sustainable. In the long‐term, there is potential to develop resistance to phosphite, such as that observed in other Phytophthora pathosystems with intensive phosphite application (Dobrowolski et al , ; Hunter et al , ). Although to date there is no evidence for this with P. agathidicida , phosphite has not yet been used intensively at regular intervals over a long period of time.…”

“…While the model suggests that further field trials on phosphonate protection efficacy would inform stand-level disease management [41], there are some suggestions that recently introduced P. ramorum lineages could develop tolerance to this treatment [62]. Our assumption of transitory chemical protection (1 year), led inevitably to a requirement of long-term follow-up treatments in the model (at two year frequency); a commitment that seems unfeasible except in the most highly managed areas such as arboretums or for important individual trees.…”
