Abstract:

In order to exploit a new reagent for controlling fusarium head blight (FHB), the co-toxicity of mixtures of bemystrobin and tebuconazole to Gibberella zeae (Schw.) Petch and the field control efficacy of mixtures of bemystrobin and tebuconazole to FHB and DON in wheat grain and wheat powdery mildew (WPM) had been measured, respectively. The indoor toxicity of bemystrobin, tebuconazole and their eleven mixtures on G. zeae (Schw.) Petch had been detected by using mycelium growth rate method, and the field control tests of the optimum formulation had been conducted. The results of indoor toxicity tests showed that the mixture of bemystrobin and tebuconazole at the ratio of 1:9 with the synergistic coefficients of 2.0804 could provide most significant synergistic effect. The results of the field control efficacy showed that the FHB disease index (DI) and DON control efficacy of 37% bemystrobin·tebuconazole SC 450 g/hm2 were 92.86% and 89.49%, respectively, while the control efficacy against WPM DI on the 21th day after 2 times of spraying were 85.84%, both of which were higher than the control efficacy of the common fungicide carbendazim or tebuconazole, and it was safe for wheat growth. 37% bemystrobin·tebuconazole SC provided excellent control efficacy on FHB and DON in wheat grain, and provided good simultaneous control efficacy on WPM, which can be developed as a FHB control agent.
