low susceptibility = resistance (which is not the same as immunity)

Should you decide to go down the 'low' route, I think your choice of 'susceptibility' is preferable to the thesaurus-sourced entry 'vulnerability'.

susceptibility: "The state ... of being ... liable to be influenced or harmed by a particular thing."
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/susceptibility

"The quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally."

agree  Edith Kelly: attack instead of infestation and also susceptibility - I do not want to post as an answer as you gave a lot of options and some are ok IMO

agree  Herbmione Granger: I think resistance is fine. AFAIK Chards are not particularly susceptible to Alternaria, so there's no need to exaggerate.

agree  Wendy Streitparth: Yep, either high resistance or low susceptibility
