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...

Respiratory inhibitors are among the fungicides most widely used for disease control on crops. Most are strobilurins and carboxamides, inhibiting the cytochrome b of mitochondrial complex III and the succinate dehydrogenase of mitochondrial complex II, respectively. A few years after the approval of these inhibitors for use on grapevines, field isolates of Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of ...
