The effectiveness of fungicides in controlling white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was evaluated when they were applied through irrigation water directly onto the plants or only to the soil. Two field trials were installed in April 1998 and April 1999 in Viçosa, MG. Trials were conducted as a (2 x 3) + 1 factorial: two fungicides x three application modes + o...

Evaluation of various fungicides against leaf blast of rice was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Bavikere, Tarikere (Tq), Chikkmangalore (Dist.), Karnataka during kharif 2010 and 2011 season. A highly susceptible rice variety TO-39 was planted in Randomized Complete Block Design and the application of various fungicides viz Dithane Z -78 75 WP (0.2 %),Carbendazim(0.1%), Propiconazo...

The need for finding fungicides against Fusarium is a key step in the chemical plant protection and using appropriate chemical agents. Existing, conventional methods of evaluation of Fusarium isolates resistance to fungicides are costly, time-consuming and potentially environmentally harmful due to usage of high amounts of potentially toxic chemicals. Therefore, the development of fast, accurat...

Fungal deterioration is one of the highest risk factors for damage of historical textile objects in Egypt. This paper represents both a study case about the fungal microflora deteriorating historical textiles in the Egyptian Museum and the Coptic museum in Cairo, and evaluation of the efficacy of several combinations of polymers with fungicides for the reinforcement of textiles and their preven...

Turf managers often rely on fungicides to limit damage caused by root diseases. Because fungicides are applied to aboveground surfaces and do not move basipetally, they are effective against root pathogens only when fungitoxic concentrations migrate to the rhizosphere. This research focused on the distribution of modern fungicides in verdure, thatch, sand, and roots of creeping bentgrass [ L. v...

In a field experiment the susceptibility of yeast-like fungi to selected fungicides with the active ingredients (a.i.) propiconazole, epoxyconazole, kresoxim-methyl, fenpropimorph, carbendazim, prochloraz and flusilazole, was analyzed. The direct effect of the fungicides on the colonies of yeast-like fungi was determined based on antibiograms – the diffusion method. The survival rate of the iso...

chickpea blight caused by didymella rabiei is considered as the most important disease of chickpea in kermanshah province. the disease is seed borne in addition to being persistent on infected residues, secondary infection taking place through pycnidiospores. in laboratory tests, the effects of six fungicides were tested at : 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 ?g.a.i.ml-1 csma(chickpea seed meal ag...

This presentation focuses primarily on recent developments in new technologies that have impacts on decay control. These technologies include 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and new preand postharvest fungicides. With the increasing use of 1-MCP in the apple industry, depending on varieties, many apples do not have to be drenched with diphenylamine (DPA) prior to storage. Because use of 1-MCP has ...

Chitosan is a linear heteropolymer consisting of β 1,4-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine (GlcN). We have compared the antifungal activity of chitosan with DPn (average degree of polymerization) 206 and FA (fraction of acetylation) 0.15 and of enzymatically produced chito-oligosaccharides (CHOS) of different DPn alone and in combination with commercially available syntheti...

Three soft fungicides were evaluated for the control of Botrytis cinerea on kiwifruit in laboratory and field experiments. Four isolates of B. cinerea were tested against two standard fungicides (carbendazim and sulphur) and three products: Mycosin (Schaette) and Mycosan (Schaette), commercially available BIOGRO certified fungicides based on diatomaceous earth, and chitosan (Sigma), derived fro...
