Isolates of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei and tritici with decreased sensitivity to triadimefon showed cross‐resistance to other inhibitors of sterol C‐14‐demethylation, such as triadimenol, propiconazol, diclobutrazol, prochloraz and nuarimol. The isolates exhibited a moderate degree of resistance to these compounds. No cross‐resistance was detected to tridemorph, fenpropimorph and pyrazophos. The resistant hordei isolates were more sensitive to ethirimol than the sensitive isolate. The competitive abilities of resistant hordei and tritici isolates were inferior to that of the sensitive isolates. In the presence of the fungicides no differences in germination, appressorium formation and penetration between the sensitive and resistant isolates were observed; 48 h after inoculation the sensitive isolate showed several morphological alterations and further fungal development was arrested. At four to five times higher doses of triadimefon, similar morphological alterations were detected in the resistant isolate. Low concentrations of triazole fungicides which slightly affected mycelium growth of both the sensitive and the resistant isolate of f.sp. hordei severely inhibited development of conidiophores of the sensitive isolate whereas that of the resistant isolate was hardly affected.
