For basic information to control apple rot caused byBotryosphaeria dothidea, this test was executed to know whether resistance of this pathogen occurred to fungicides, mancozeb and oxine-copper which have been used for many years, and know if occurred what fungicides can substitute for control of the resistant pathogen. Sensitive isolates were unable to grow at 500ug/ml whereas resistant isolates grew to 18~28mm and 7~9mm in colony diameter at 3,000ug/ml of mancozeb and oxine-copper, respectively. The sensitive isolates showed almost no pycnidia formation at 100ug/ml of either chemical while the resistant isolates formed relatively abundant pycnidia at the recommended concentration of 1,500ug/ml and above. Nuarimol+ mancozeb, propineb and thiabendazole suppressing mycerial growth and pycnidia formation completely at 1/3 of the recommended concentration can be substituted for the control of the resistant pathogen, while chlorothalonil + oxine-copper, dithianon, folpet, nuarimol +mancozeb, and propineb showing 100% suppression of germination are also promissing for the substitution.
