Abstract:

Fusarium solani-melongenae and Fusarium oxysporum have strong pathogenicity to sweet patato. To screen effective fungicides to control them, the indoor toxicity of eight fungicides to the two strains of Fusarium spp. pathogens were detected by using mycelial growth rate method, and the eight fungicides were carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, procymidone, trifloxystrobin·tebuconazole, pyraclostrobin·metiram, prochloraz, zhongshengmycin and tetramycin. The results showed that tetramycin and prochloraz were found to be the most effective fungicides inhibiting the mycelial growth of Fusarium solani-melongenae, and the mean effective concentration (EC50) value was 1.292 μg/mL and 2.145 μg/mL, respectively. The EC50 value of zhongshengmycin and trifloxystrobin·tebuconazole was 16.652 μg/mL and 28.641 μg/mL respectively, also effective against Fusarium solani-melongenae. However, procymidone, thiophanate-methyl, carbendazim and pyraclostrobin·metiram, with EC50 value of 440.540, 637.120, 680.765 and 22385.367 μg/mL respectively, were less effective against Fusarium solani-melongenae. Tetramycin, prochloraz and trifloxystrobin·tebuconazole were the most effective fungicides inhibiting the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum, and the mean effective concentration (EC50) value was 0.03, 0.131 and 0.177 μg/mL, respectively. Zhongshengmycin and carbendazim were also effective against Fusarium oxysporum, and the EC50 value was 3.66 μg/mL and 14.408 μg/mL, respectively. Thiophanate-methyl and pyraclostrobin·metiram had poor inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum strains, with EC50 of 28.611 μg/mL and 59.78 μg/mL, respectively. The inhibitory effect of procymidone was the worst, its EC50 value was 379.426 μg/mL. Overall, tetramycin and prochloraz could obviously inhibit the two strains of Fusarium spp., and there were significant differences of the sensitivity of the two strains of Fusarium spp. to different fungicides. The sensitivity of Fusarium oxysporum to the eight fungicides was higher than that of Fusarium solani-melongenae.
