Universal Classification of Plant Protection Products According to Their Modes of Action and Their Chemical Structures Version 5 – February 2018 Universal classification of plant protection products according to their modes of action and their chemical structures Opening remark: Tables presented in this document are in French. Nevertheless, this explicative introduction is written in English. A full English version of this classification is under progress. We apologize for this temporary inconvenience to English-speaking readers. Pest, disease or weed control involves plant protection products (PPPs), of natural or synthetic origin. Independent classifications of PPPs have been proposed according to their category (fungicides: FRAC; acaricides-insecticides: IRAC; herbicides: HRAC or WSSA). They do not take into account the fact that highly different organisms may share common biochemical targets that can be inhibited by substances with the same modes of action. Furthermore, biocontrol solutions are often partially represented in these classifications, whereas many are registered in France and their use will gradually increase in the coming years. Some of them may face the adaptation of targeted pests, which justifies their inclusion in this nomenclature of PPPs. The unified classification of PPPs presented in this document takes these characteristics into account and assigns one single code to the modes of action registered against plant pathogens, pests (insects and mites) and / or weeds. It includes: ● A unified classification valid for all PPPs, showing the correlation between the R4P, RACs and WSSA group codes. ● A comprehensive list of fungicides, insecticides-acaricides and herbicides classified according to their modes of action, including their general uses, their dates of registration in France, and the resistance cases reported in France and globally ● A classification of active substances affecting the toxicity of PPPs. In these documents, active ingredients are classified according to their general mode of action, i.e. their ability to affect the following vital processes or structures: ● A – Mitochondrial respiration and energy supply ● B – Photosynthesis (chloroplasts) ● C – Carbohydrate metabolism (oses, osides or polyols) ● D – Lipid metabolism (acetogenins and derivatives) ● E – Sterol metabolism ● F – Biosynthesis of amino-acids or proteins ● G – Biosynthesis of nucleic acids or of their precursors ● H - Biosynthesis of pigments ● I – Biosynthesis of coenzymes ● K – Cell division (mitotic spindle) and cytoskeleton ● L – Hormonal regulation ● M – Cellular signalling ● N – Nervous system or muscles of arthropods ● O – Cell membrane integrity. Version 5 – February 2018 In most cases, the toxicity of a PPP results from its interaction with an enzyme or a non-enzymatic protein, which is its primary target site. In some cases, for the same target site, it is possible to distinguish several classes of inhibitors, according to the interaction modalities. Resistance to PPPs often results from qualitative (and, more rarely, quantitative) changes in their target sites (i.e., target-site-based resistance). These alterations often, but not always, cause positive cross-resistance to all substances with the same primary target descriptor (R4P code, second digit), regardless of the substance chemical class. The classification of PPPs can help establishing anti-target-site-based-resistance strategies based on a rational use of the various modes of action. However, in the case of non-target site resistance, the cross-resistance spectrum can include several different modes of action or only concern some, but not all, substances within the same mode of action group. This requires specific studies to issue recommendations adapted to each specific situation. The PPPs distributed within the S, W and Y classes are little or not concerned by resistance phenomena. They are : ● S – Inducers of host plant response or SDP (mostly against micro-organisms) ● W – Multi-site inhibitors (interacting in a non-specific manner, in particular with - SH or -NH2 groups of respiratory enzymes, in various pests) ● Y - Microbial biopesticides. Class X (unknown biochemical mode of action; XF: Fungicides, XA: Acaricides, XI: Insecticides, XH: Herbicides) includes old or new active substances whose mode of biochemical action remains unknown. The NC class includes unclassified novel active substances. Finally, class Z includes compounds affecting the toxicity of PPPs (ZP: safeners and ZS: synergists). They are not concerned by resistance but can indirectly contribute to its selection by promoting the effectiveness of PPP active substances. They are therefore presented separately from the previous active substances. Besides their classification in groups by biochemical modes of action, PPPs have been classified into subgroups according to their chemical structure. A deliberately simplified name for chemical structures was chosen. A breakdown by chemical class is proposed. When deemed necessary, a secondary subdivision per chemical subclass is also provided. Depending on the available information on evolved resistance (in particular cross-resistance spectra), a descriptor of chemical structure is sometimes proposed within certain classes of action modes. Note that for multi-site inhibitors (Class W) and active ingredients with unknown modes of action (Class X), classification is based solely on the chemical structure of the active ingredients, pending elucidation of its mode of action. All PPPs, whatever their target (weed, pest or fungi) are thus grouped in one single, homogeneous classification, primarily according to their biochemical action mode of action, and secondarily according to their chemical class. This last indication can be useful for reasoning cross resistances within the same mode of action. To avoid confusion of this new nomenclature with existing ones, the letter "U" (for “Universal” nomenclature) is added in front of all codes. This is exemplified below. Version 5 – February 2018 In this example, the code A1b corresponds to inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration and energy supply (A) which bind to the mitochondrial complex I (ubiquinone binding zone essentially involving the PSST subunit) (1), represented chemically by rings containing two nitrogens (b). These active ingredients can be fungicides (code FRAC C1 / 39) or insecticides (code IRAC 21A). Acknowledgments: R4P warmly thanks Pierre Leroux, Christian Gauvrit, Jean-Philippe Guillemin, Bruno Chauvel, Laurent Thibault, Hélène Tombette and Véronique Mironet for their invaluable help in the design and development of this classification and the research of the characteristics associated with active substances.

  • Downy Mildew 2018
    Downy Mildew The recent weather pattern was a big relief for many dryland farmers in Texas, but for grape growers in the eastern half of the state and especially the Gulf Coast, tropical moisture in the summer can spell big problems with downy mildew. Downy is one of few fungal diseases that can cause serious damage all season long, and each year we hear at least one report of total crop loss from downy. The warm and wet conditions this week have been ideal for downy mildew infections so if you have already seen downy in your vineyard this year then there is an extremely high probability of a reoccurring infection. If you have not seen downy mildew yet this year, there is a still a very good chance that an infection can or already has occurred. Even a very small, unnoticeable infection can explode into an outbreak under the right conditions. Make sure that your vineyard is properly protected! Young berries are highly susceptible to direct infections by downy mildew, but become increasing resistant with age. However, downy can infect all of the green parts of a grapevine season long. Infections this time of the year can lead to significant defoliation which in turn can severely reduce fruit quality and vine health. Favorite vineyard defoliated from downy mildew infection. The foliar symptoms of downy can vary quite a bit based on cultivar and tissue age so know what to look for when you are scouting your vineyard. You can visit the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Viticulture & Enology webpage to view a photo gallery with more than fifty photos of downy mildew infections.

  • Extension Plant Pathology Update
    Extension Plant Pathology Update April 2013 Volume 1, Number 3 Edited by Jean Williams-Woodward Plant Disease Clinic Report for March 2013 By Ansuya Jogi and Jean Williams-Woodward The following tables consist of the commercial and homeowner samples submitted to the plant disease clinics in Athens and Tifton for March 2013 (Table 1) and one year ago in April 2012 (Table 2). Sample numbers are starting to pick up, but many of the problems we’ve seen in March were due to abiotic disorders such as cultural and/or environmental stresses (i.e. cold injury, past drought stress, poor root growth, etc.). Likely, the recent colder temperatures have slowed plant growth and plant disease development. We did have a few interesting samples, including cedar rusts and bulb mites on tulip (see pages 6 and 7). Looking ahead based upon April samples from last year and current weather conditions, we could expect more fungal leaf spot diseases, fire blight, rust, powdery mildew and downy mildew diseases.

    2012 VINTAGE UPDATE: 13 APRIL By Michelle Moyer, Viticulture Extension Specialist; Gary Grove, Plant Pathologist; and Markus Keller, Research Viticulturist 2012 Vintage Updates will be routinely posted on the WSU Viticulture & Enology website, located at: http://wine.wsu.edu/research-extension/articles/ Irrigation, Vine “Bleeding” and Impact on Early Season Development A sure sign of spring is “bleeding” (sap flow) from pruning wounds on grapevines. “Bleeding” is likely caused by root pressure due to sufficient moisture uptake by the vine. Low precipitation during the 2011-2012 winter season has resulted in low soil moisture content this spring for many locations. Insufficient soil moisture which may result in poor root pressure, has and been associated with erratic budbreak, stunted shoot growth, and/or cluster abortion early in the growing season. Are your vines bleeding, and if not, do you know what the soil moisture levels are in your vineyard (either high tech with neutron probes, or low tech by sight and feel)? A) Sufficient soil moisture results in positive root pressure leading to wound Irrigation channels are full for the season, so if your soil moisture content “bleeding”.
