Benomyl was compared with copper hydroxide, azoxystrobin, tebuconazole, acibenzolar-S-methyl, and basic copper sulfate for effi cacy of cercospora leaf spot [incited by Cercospora brassicicola P. Henn] management on turnip greens [Brassica rapa L. var. (DC.) Metzg. utilis]. Treatments included various application times and were evaluated in three fi eld experiments over 2 years. The few yield e...

This study sought to develop a biological control agent against gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea in tomato using a strain of Streptomyces, which showed significant antagonistic activity against B. cinerea. Such strain (C51) was screened by dual culture method from a total of 78 actinomycetes and was identified as Streptomyces nobilis by morphological, biochemical and molecular analy...

Field trials in spring wheat and spring barley were carried out over two years in Dotnuva, in the center of Lithuania. Different fungicidal spray programs were used in 20042005 to determine their efficacy in controlling Fusarium infection and toxin deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation in the grain. Azoxystrobin alone, and in a tank mixture with tebucanozole, a commercial mixture of prothioconazole...

This study aimed at the development and validation of an accurate, more affordable, precise digital imaging resazurin-based fungicide sensitivity colorimetric assay (COL-assay) for fungal plant pathogens from genera Mycosphaerella Pyricularia. proposed was based on estimates resazurin reduction, which used as a metabolic indicator respiration activity microplate cultures. As model systems, we y...

Positive effects on plant health provided by quinone outside inhibitors (QoI) and other fungicide classes have been previously reported in turfgrass agricultural crops. However, most of the research was conducted under controlled environmental rather than field conditions. Two one greenhouse experiments were repeated southern California from 2011–2013 to test ability selected fungicides retain ...
