Thiabendazole and benomyl were the most effective fungicides for the control of Diplodia natalensis Pole Evans stem-end rot, a major decay of early degreened fruit. This decay was also significantly reduced by imazalil and guazatine, but the level of control was not as consistent as that obtained with thiabendazole or benomyl. Control of Dip lodia stem-end rot was not obtained with DF-1OO or po...

Fungicides belong to a group of pesticides which inhibited fungal growth either causing damage to the cells or preventing the fungal development. As pesticides, they offer great economic and social benefits through the protection and preservation of materials, food and the prevention of diseases. Since pesticides are designed specifically to fight harmful or even dangerous life forms and theref...

Commercial rhododendron plants have been the most important hosts of Phytophthora ramorum in Europe. As part of the European Union (EU) emergency phytosanitary measures 2002/757/EU and 2004/426/EU all commercial rhododendron-growing premises are surveyed for P. ramorum. Detection of P. ramorum leads to quarantine measures, including destruction of plants, and could lead to considerable financia...

A simple method to determine the toxicity of fungicides on male gametophyte in Brassica campestris subsp. oleiferae is described. The calculation of fungicide concentration used in the test is derived from doses used in field application. The expression of regression curves and calculation of regression equations require the logarithmic transformation of fungicide concentration. The range of th...

In order to know the compatibility of Phyton (a Phytotonic) with routine fungicides like Captan and GLSTIN (Carbendazim), for the preliminary management of Fusarium solani, a causal organism of tuber-rot of safed musli, the present study was carried out. Among the fungicides, though GLSTIN stood superior, its effect was found inferior to that of Phyton alone. However, the combination of Phyton ...

Elionurus muticus is a grass from Pampa biome and it is an excellent alternative as natural source of citral in southern Brazil. The essential oil has a high citral level (80%) and presents variability for other important chemical compounds. The present studies indicated its cytotoxic effect against Artemia salina and also suggested its application in the control of pathogenic fungi. E. muticus...
