almond red leaf blotch is the most important fungal disease that is caused by the fungus polystigma amygdalinum. symptoms depending on the cultivar almond trees can be seen almost all year. in this study the effect of 5 fungicides (copper oxychloride  2000 µg/ml, bordofix 2000 µg/ml, mancozeb 200 µg/ml, bordo compound 10000 µg/ml, triforin 300 µg/ml with rep.control) was examined in a randomize...

background: antifungal drug resistance and few numbers of available drugs limit therapeutic options against fungal infections. the present study was designed to discover new antifungal drugs.   m aterials and methods: this study was carried out in two separate steps, that is, in silico lead identification and in vitro assaying of antifungal potential. a structural data file of a ternary complex...

the effect of fungicides on silkworm larvae was analyzed with regard to the fact that these beneficial insects are usually affected by fungicides, daily feeding on 1 and 2g/liter of carbendazim, a systemic fungicide, did not have significant effects on larval and pupal mortality. however the weight of the treated larvae showed considerable weight decrease up to 37% weight.. all the economic tra...

Hollomon D.W. (2015): Fungicide resistance: facing the challenge. Plant Protect. Sci., 51: 170–176 Fungicide resistance continues to generate disease control problems in many crops. Experience amassed over the past fifty years has emphasised the importance of diversity in modes of action in anti-resistance strategies. Because of losses, not only from resistance, but increasingly from environmen...

In one of the few studies of its kind, Cornell researchers Eric Nelson and Cheryl Craft (Dept. Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) report the successful suppression of dollar spot in both preventative and curative applications by a biological control agent, the bacteria Enterobacter cloacae, in field experiments on putting greens in New York. While laboratory and greenhou...

Fungicide efficacy at different positions on grape shoots was determined on vinelets inoculated with Botrytis cinerea. To ensure proper fungicide coverage, vinelets (table grape cultivar Dauphine, wine grape cultivar Merlot noir), prepared from cuttings, were sprayed in a spray chamber at the recommended dosages with iprodione, pyrimethanil, cyprodinillfludioxonil and fenhexamid. Vinelets for t...

Amine fungicides are widely used as crop protectants. Their success is believed to be related to their ability to inhibit postlanosterol sterol biosynthesis in fungi, in particular sterol-Δ(8),Δ(7)-isomerases and sterol-Δ(14)-reductases, with a concomitant accumulation of toxic abnormal sterols. However, their actual cellular effects and mechanisms of death induction are still poorly understood...
