Abstract:

In order to explore a new reagent for controlling fusarium head blight (FHB), the indoor toxicity of prothioconazole, propiconazole and their seven mixtures on Gibberella zeae (Schw.) Petch had been detected by using mycelium growth rate method. Meanwhile, the field control tests of the optimum formulation on FHB, DON in wheat grain, wheat powdery mildew (WPM) and wheat leaf rust (WLR) had been conducted, respectively. The results of indoor toxicity tests showed that the synergistic coefficient was 2.4375 when the mixture of prothioconazole and propiconazole at the ratio of 1:1, and the synergistic effect was the most significant. The results of the field control efficacy showed that the FHB disease index (DI) and DON control efficacy of 40% prothioconazole·propiconazole oil dispersion (OD) 600 g/hm2 were 93.46% and 91.26%, respectively, while the control efficacy against WPM DI and WLR DI on the 21th day after 2 times of spraying were 93.50% and 93.19%, respectively, both of which were higher than the control efficacy of the common fungicide tebuconazole or carbendazim, and it was safe for wheat growth. 40% prothioconazole·propiconazole OD provided excellent control efficacy on FHB and DON in wheat grain, as well as excellent simultaneous control efficacy on WPM and WLR, which had good development potential.
