The species that affects roses is Sphareotheca fungi Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosa . Another plant associated type of mildew is downy mildew . Downy mildews are caused by fungus like organisms in the family Peronosporaceae Oomycota . They are obligate plant pathogens, and the many species are each parasitic on a narrow range of hosts. In agriculture, downy mildews are a particular problem for growers of potatoes, grapes, tobacco and cucurbits .

Inappropriate tone date December 2007 Wheat mildew is a wheat disease that affects the ear, and is brought on by causes somewhat similar to those that cause blight , though at a more advanced period of the season. If this disorder comes on immediately after the first appearance of the ear, the straw is also affected&mdash but if the grain is nearly or fully formed, injury to the straw is less discernible. Wheat may mildew where the straw is perfectly fresh, but only rarely. A severe mildew, however, retards further grain and straw maturation and leads to death. Something akin to mildew is the gum , which, in all warm moist seasons, attaches itself to the ear, and often causes considerable damage. All these different disorders are generally accompanied by insect s, and by minute Parasite parasitic vegetable growths, considered by many to be the cause of the damage. Their appearance, however, may justly be attributed to the diseased state of the plant for wherever putrefaction takes place, either in animal or vegetable substances, the presence of these parasites will never be wanting. Another disorder that affects wheat, which several people consider the real rust , is brought on by excessive heat, which makes the plants suffer from malnutrition, and become sickly and feeble. In this atrophic state a kind of dust gathers on the stalks and leaves, which increases with the disease, till the plant is in a great measure worn out and exhausted. The only remedy in this case, and it is one that cannot easily be administered by the hand of man, is a plentiful supply of moisture, by which, if it is received before consumption is too far advanced, the crop is benefited in a degree proportional to the extent of nourishment received, and the stage at which the disease has arrived. Some people have recommended using blighted and mildewed wheat for seed.

They represent the most important development made in fungicides by the chemicals industry. Q sub o sub I are chemical compounds which act at the Quinol outer binding site of the cytochrome bc1 complex cytochrome bc sub 1 sub complex . Q sub o sub I s are the resulting fusion of three fungicides families, the well known family of strobilurin s and two new families, represented by fenamidone and famoxadone. Some strobilurins are azoxystrobin, kresoxim methyl, picoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin. These fungicides are used on a wide range of crops, such as cereals, vines, pome fruits, cucurbits, tomatoes and potatoes. For example, they are used as fungicides for cereals, against Erysiphe graminis f.sp tritici responsible for the powdery wheat mildew mildew in wheat or against Septoria tritici , responsible for septoria septoria leaf spot in wheat. They are also commonly used for grape vine culture, against Plasmopara viticola , responsible for downy mildew or in o dium treatment. All these fungicides are in the same cross resistance group same mode of action and must be managed carefully to avoid the appearance of fungicide resistance. Some fungicide resistance has been observed in most crops such as in the case of wheat powdery mildew , so the application of Q sub o sub I products should respect effective rates and intervals to provides time and space when the pathogen population is not influenced by the product selection pressure.
