Botryosphaeria dothidea, the causal agent of apple ring rot, is an important fungal plant pathogen that can cause serious reductions in crop yield, and fungicides still play a crucial role in management. In the present study, the sensitivity of B. dothidea to fludioxonil, fluazinam, and pyrisoxazole was assessed in 162 isolates. Moreover, the protective and curative activity of the three fungicides on detached apple fruit as well as the control efficacy in the field were determined. The results showed that the mean 50% effective concentration (EC 50 ) values (± standard deviation) were 0.01 ± 0.008, 0.04 ± 0.03, and 0.02 ± 0.01 μg ml −1 , with individual EC 50  values of 0.002 to 0.05, 0.003 to 0.19, and 0.005 to 0.26 μg ml −1  for fludioxonil, fluazinam, and pyrisoxazole, respectively. In addition, the frequency distributions of EC 50  values were both unimodal curves. However, significant correlations (P &lt; 0.05) were found between fludioxonil and iprodione, between fluazinam and iprodione, as well as between pyrisoxazole and difenoconazole. In field trials conducted during 2016 and 2017, the control efficacy ranged from 75.91 to 87.41% when fludioxonil was applied at 100 to 150 mg active ingredient (a.i.) kg −1 , 81.90 to 85.13% when fluazinam was applied at 400 mg a.i. kg −1 , and 77.43 to 80.97% when pyrisoxazole was applied at 400 mg a.i. kg −1 . The control efficacy of the fungicides in storage was higher than 60%, with the exception of fluazinam. These results demonstrated that fludioxonil, fluazinam, and pyrisoxazole have considerable potential to control apple ring rot.
