A critical review of plant protection tools for reducing pesticide use on grapevine and new perspectives for the implementation of IPM in viticulture (2017, background): “The number of microorganisms and botanicals tested so far against the three main grapevine pathogens is very large (Dagostin et al., 2011; Gadoury et al., 2012; Jacometti et al., 2010).”
Pre- and postharvest treatment with alternatives to synthetic fungicides to control postharvest decay of sweet cherry (2013, background): “sibirica extract ignificantly decreased the disease severity of downy mildew on rapevines under semi-controlled conditions, and its efficacy was qual to copper treatment (Dagostin et al., 2011).”
Copper in plant protection: current situation and prospects (2018, background): “…Inula viscosa extract controlled late blight in potato and tomato, downy mildew in cucumber, and downy mildew in grapevine (Cohen et al., 2006; Dagostin et al., 2011); extract of Salvia officinalis was reported to be active against downy mildew of grapevine (Dagostin et al., 2010) and…”
Potential Sources of Anthropogenic Copper Inputs to European Agricultural Soils (2018, background): “[57] carried out an extensive study (112 treatments) in north Italy and Switzerland to find novel compounds that could be effective against downy mildew, and are less toxic than copper and compatible with organic farming principles.”
