Abstract:

To screen effective fungicides to control powdery mildew of cucurbit crops, clarify the field control efficiency of isopyrazam and its mixture on powdery mildew of balsam pear, zucchini, melon and watermelon, and provide a scientific scheme for the green control of powdery mildew of cucurbit crops, some field control efficacy trials were carried out for three years according to the guidelines of field efficacy test GB/T 17980.30—2000. According to the development of different crops and diseases, by 2-4 times applications with 7-14 days intervals and spraying at the initial stage of powdery mildew, the control efficiency of isopyrazam 11.2% EC 67.2 g(a.i.)/hm2 (preparation 600 mL/hm2) and isopyrazam· azoxystrobin 29% SC 87-261 g(a.i.)/hm2 (preparation 300-900 mL/hm2) were more than 80%. The duration was 10-14 days, significantly higher than that of the conventional dosage of azoxystrobin· boscalid 30% SC, difenoconazole 10% WG, triadimefon 25% WP or myclobutanil 12.5% EC. Therefore, isopyrazam 11.2% EC and isopyrazam· azoxystrobin 29% SC have good control efficiency on powdery mildew of balsam pear, zucchini, melon and watermelon, which indicated that they are worthy of further research and development.
