In this study, we investigated whether fungicide-induced mutagenesis previously reported in Monilinia fructicola could accelerate genetic changes in field populations. Azoxystrobin and propiconazole were applied to nectarine trees at weekly intervals for approximately 3 months between bloom and harvest in both 2013 and 2014. Fungicides were applied at half-label rate to allow recovery of isolates and to increase...
