“…It phenotypically showed translaminar and acropetally systemic movement, protecting treated leaves and new leaves as they emerged and grew. Mancozeb is known to control downy mildew and anthracnose diseases of grapes (Saha et al, 2021). Although the non-systemic fungicides viz., Mancozeb, Captan and Ziram exhibited statistically inferior efficacy as compared to systemic ones (Khilari et al, 2010) they were the best for ready mix fungicides to mitigate resistance issues.…”

Downy mildew of grapes caused by Plasmopara viticola is the most important disease of grapes which is observed in all grape growing regions of India. A new fungicide Oxathiapiprolin (piperidinylthiazoleisoxazoline class) along with Mancozeb (ethylene-bis-dithiocarbamate) was evaluated against downy mildew of grapes in the year 2018-19 and 2019-20 under field conditions at Maharashtra. Three concentrations of Oxathiapiprolin 0.6% + Mancozeb 60% WG, i.e. 1666, 2500 and 3333 g/ha were checked in the experiment. Pooled data revealed that the test fungicide@ 3333 g/ha manifested lowest PDI of 11.25 with a corresponding yield of 22.99 t/ha and it was at par with @2500 g/ha which had a PDI of 12.13 and yield of 22.31 t/ha. Hence the treatment Oxathiapiprolin 0.6% + Mancozeb 60% WG @ 3333 g/ha may be recommended against downy mildew of grapes.

“…Because of these concerns, former common effective fungicides have been banned by the EU and therefore also in Norway (EU regulation, 2020;Saha et al, 2022). As more data is collected on the harmful environmental and health effects of fungicides, pressure is increasing on the EU to continue to ban fungicides, potentially threatening farmer's ability to chemically control late blight in the EU and Norway (European Regualtion, 2020;Forbond, 2021).…”

Last decade’s advances in biotechnology, with the introduction of CRISPR, have challenged the regulatory framework for competent authorities all over the world. Hence, regulatory issues related to gene editing are currently high on the agenda both in the EU and in the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement country of Norway, particularly with regards to sustainable agriculture. During the negotiations on the EEA Agreement, Norway was allowed to retain three extra aims in the Gene Technology Act: “That the production and use of GMO happens in an ethical way, is beneficial to society and is in accordance with the principle of sustainable development”. We argue the case that taking sustainability into the decisions on regulating gene edited products could be easier in Norway than in the EU because of these extra aims. Late blight is our chosen example, as a devastating disease in potato that is controlled in Norway primarily by high levels of fungicide use. Also, many of these fungicides are being banned due to negative environmental and health effects. The costs of controlling late blight in Norway were calculated in 2006, and since then there have been new cultivars developed, inflation and an outbreak of war in Europe increasing farm input costs. A genetically modified (GM) cisgenic late blight resistant (LBR) potato presents a possible solution that could reduce fungicide use, but this could still be controversial. This paper aims to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of approving the commercial use of a GM LBR potato cultivar in Norway and compare these against currently used late blight management methods and conventional potato resistance breeding. We argue that a possible route for future regulatory framework could build upon the proposal by the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board from 2019, also taking sustainability goals into account. This could favour a positive response from the Competent Authorities without breeching the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. Perhaps the EU could adopt a similar approach to fulfil their obligations towards a more sustainable agriculture?
