The growing concerns on human and environment health are forcing the plant protection industry toward the formulation of more eco-sustainable plant protection products (PPP), both efficient and innovative in their approach to disease control. A large number of these innovative formulations now rely on a combination of pathogens antagonistic properties and stimulation of natural plant defense to pathogens. The formulation HA + Cu(II), in which copper is delivered to the plants by the drug-delivery molecule hydroxyapatite (HA), was found efficient against the grapevine pathogens and and able to induce the host-plant defense system. We investigated the HA + Cu(II) impacts on grapevine physiology, both in uninfected and when infected by the Botryosphaeria dieback agents and . This study of plant physiology and disease impact were addressed to evaluate both the HA + Cu(II) potential as a plant defense elicitor and its possible and future use as PPP in vineyard. Our results showed that HA + Cu(II) induced several key-defense genes without negatively affecting plant growth and photosynthetic activity. In addition, fungistatic effect on the two at the tested concentrations is reported. Altogether, our results obtained under controlled conditions fully support the potential of HA + Cu(II) as a promising PPP toward grapevine trunk diseases in vineyard.

Fungal trunk diseases are of major concern for tree fruit, nut, and grape growers throughout the world. These diseases include Eutypa dieback of grape, caused by , band canker of almond, caused by and , and twig and branch dieback of walnut, caused by , Botryosphaeria dieback of grape, caused by , and , and esca of grape, caused by and . Given the common occurrence of mixed infections, and the similar wood symptoms at the macroscopic level, species-specific detection tools are needed.

Background: Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries. Adopting integrated strategies combining several control methods has been indicated as the best approach to prevent or reduce infections on grapevine propagation material. In recent years, electrolyzed water (EW) has emerged as a sustainable alternative for disinfection.

Article Synopsis
- Diplodia shoot blight and canker disease (DSB) is caused by the fungal pathogen Diplodia sapinea and primarily affects 2-3 needled pines, such as ponderosa pine, resulting in various symptoms including necrotic needles, cankers, and dieback.
- The pathogen can exist without visible symptoms in trees, making it difficult to detect, and outbreaks are more common in stressed environments like nurseries and seed orchards.
- Although D. sapinea has not been previously reported in Colorado, studies confirmed its presence and pathogenicity after observing symptoms in ponderosa pines in Wyoming in 2018 and discovering symptomatic trees in Colorado in 2021.

Grapevine Botryosphaeria dieback (GBD), caused by Botryosphaeriaceae species, is an important grapevine trunk disease that poses a threat to grape yield and quality in global viticultural regions. Pathogen diagnosis at the species level using morphological methods is difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a rapid and accurate detection method for the pathogens causing GBD.

Article Synopsis
- There is limited research on how the age of pruning wounds and timing of pruning affect the infection of apple trees by Botryosphaeriaceae fungi.
- The study found that younger pruning wounds (1 and 15 days old) are significantly more susceptible to infections than older wounds (30 and 45 days).
- Additionally, the release of fungal spores was closely linked to rainfall, with a large percentage of conidia released during rainy months from June to August.
