Fungicides seed dressing provides benefits by preventing fungal infection, conversely, damage the non-target organisms including plant and its symbiotic bacteria. In this study, the effect of two fungicides, carbendazim and thiophanate methyl, was assessed on the growth of pea and its symbiotic bacteria, Rhizobium leguminosarum. In vitro studies revealed that recommended concentration of fungic...

Botrytis gray mold (BGM) caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. Ex. Fr. is an extremely devastating disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and has a regional as well as an international perspective. Unfortunately, nonchemical methods for its control are weak and ineffective. In order to identify an effective control measure, six fungicides with different modes of action were evaluated on a BGM susc...

Tobacco grey mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is an important fungal disease worldwide. Boscalid, carbendazim, iprodione, pyrimethanil and propiconazole are representative botryticides for grey mold management. This research investigated the sensitivities of B. cinerea from tobacco to these chemicals using the Biolog FF Microplate. All five chemicals showed inhibitory activity, with average EC50...

Compatibility of the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae with representative pesticides, plant oils and a fungal antagonist were studied in vitro. The pesticides tested were: endosulfan, acephate, abamectin, ethion, chlorothalonil, iprodion + carbendazim, thiophanate methyl and dinocap, an antagonist, Trichoderma harzianum and the plant oils: coconut oil, groundnut oil, gingili oil,...

Resistance of Fusarium graminearum to carbendazim is caused by point mutations in the β2-tubulin gene. The point mutation at codon 167 (TTT → TAT, F167Y) occurs in more than 90% of field resistant isolates in China. To establish a suitable method for rapid detection of the F167Y mutation in F. graminearum, an efficient and simple method with high specificity was developed based on loop-mediated...

An experimental study of antioxidant parameters in rats after exposure to carbendazim was carried out the effect their pharmacological correction by an intragastric administration Saccharina latissima extract at a dose 250 mg/kg for 14 days. The under found reduce activity lipid peroxidation and promote neutralization hydrogen peroxide.

Lack of understanding regarding the choice chemical fungicides or botanicals with their optimal doze and spraying schedule is one major problems concerning mid-hill farmers to control finger millet diseases in Nepal. In order assess effectiveness four fungicides, namely Bavistin 50 WP (Carbendazim 50%), SAAF 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP), RIDOMIL-MZ 72 (Metalyxl 8% 64% BAAN 75 (Tricyclazole 75%), two ...

The embryotoxic potential of the commonly used fungicide, methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate (MBC) was evaluated in rat and hamster embryo limb bud (LB) and midbrain (CNS) cell micromass cultures. Cultures were exposed to seven concentrations of 0.03, 0.12, 0.49, 1.95, 7.81, 31.25 and 125 μg MBC/ml. Developmental toxicity was assessed via the following parameters: cytotoxicity, by quantifying neut...

Most investigations of the use of fungicides for the control Results are described of field trials in which attempts were of Smut have been carried out with setts that were inoculated made to control sugarcane smut with fungicides. Smut was by dipping in spore suspensions, either before or after treatsuccessfully controlled in the plant cane crop when seedcane ment with f~ngicides.~~ s> 'Partia...
