A response of entomopathogenic fungi to botanical fungicides and synthetic fungicides in vitro

Mechanisms of resistance to QoI fungicides in phytopathogenic fungi.

The major threat to crops posed by fungal diseases results in the use by growers of enormous amounts of chemicals. Of these, quinol oxydation inhibitors (QoIs) are probably the most successful class of agricultural fungicides. QoIs inhibit mitochondrial respiration in fungi by binding to the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex, blocking electron transfer and halting ATP synthesis. Unfortunate...

Recent Trends in Studies on Botanical Fungicides in Agriculture

Plants are attacked by various phytopathogenic fungi. For many years, synthetic fungicides have been used to control plant diseases. Although synthetic fungicides are highly effective, their repeated use has led to problems such as environmental pollution, development of resistance, and residual toxicity. This has prompted intensive research on the development of biopesticides, including botani...

Chemosensitization of Plant Pathogenic Fungi to Agricultural Fungicides

A common consequence of using agricultural fungicides is the development of resistance by fungal pathogens, which undermines reliability of fungicidal effectiveness. A potentially new strategy to aid in overcoming or minimizing this problem is enhancement of pathogen sensitivity to fungicides, or "chemosensitization." Chemosensitization can be accomplished by combining a commercial fungicide wi...

in vitro and in vivo synthetic fungicides control of rigidoporus microporus on para rubber in nigeria

rigidoporus microporus is a major threat to hevea brasiliensis in the rubber growing regions of the world. in vitro synthetic fungicidesensitivity assays of tridemorph, benomyl and bayfidan at seven different concentrations, and in vivo effectiveness of the three fungicides on r. microporus inoculated on rubber seedlings were evaluated. the three chemical fungicides used in this study were effe...
