In vitro evaluation of commercial fungicides for control of Colletotrichum spp., in blackberry

Abstract

Efficiency in vitro of five chemical fungicides, three plant extracts and three biocontrol products were evaluated by their inhibition of mycelial growth percentage and inhibition of fungal biomass percentage, for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides strain 52 and Colletotrichum acutatum strain 168. In the group of chemical fungicides, the best results for inhibition of mycelial growth of both pathogens were obtained with Copper Hydroxide and Difenoconazole, showing 100% of inhibition. Regarding biomass inhibition, the products with higher inhibitory effect in C. gloeosporioides were Difenoconazole showing 100% of inhibition, and Benomyl, which inhibition was between 93% and 99%, and in C. acutatum was Difenoconazol with 100% inhibition and Azoxystrobin with an inhibition between 91% and 97%. Regarding the plant extracts group, Citru... Ver más... Se evaluó la eficiencia in vitro de cinco fungicidas de síntesis química, tres extractos vegetales y tres productos a base de biocontroladores, mediante las variables porcentaje de inhibición del crecimiento micelial y porcentaje de inhibición de la biomasa de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides cepa 52 y Colletotrichum acutatum cepa 168. En el grupo de los productos de síntesis química, los mejores resultados en la inhibición del crecimiento micelial en ambas cepas, se obtuvo con hidróxido de cobre y difenoconazol, con 100% de inhibición. En cuanto a inhibición de la biomasa, los productos con mayor porcentaje de efecto inhibitorio en C. gloeosporioides fueron: difenoconazol (100%) y benomil (93% a 99%); en C. acutatum fueron: difenoconazol (100%) y azoxystrobin (91% a 97%). Respecto a los extractos vegetales, el extracto a base de ... Ver más...
