Screening of chemicals to control mulberry root rot

Seven chemicals were screened in vitro against Fusarium sp., the causal organism of mulberry root rot. The following chemicals showed zones of inhibition against the test organism: Cupravit, Benlate, Aliette, Dithane M45 and Captan 50 WP. These chemicals were evaluated in vivo using mulberry cutting...

Summary:Seven chemicals were screened in vitro against Fusarium sp., the causal organism of mulberry root rot. The following chemicals showed zones of inhibition against the test organism: Cupravit, Benlate, Aliette, Dithane M45 and Captan 50 WP. These chemicals were evaluated in vivo using mulberry cuttings soaked overnight in the treatments. Greenhouse in vivo evaluations of the five chemicals showed that Benlate and Aliette had the highest percentage of survivability rate in Fusarium-infested soil both at 61.8% though they did not differ significantly with the other chemical treatments except Cupravit. Dithane M45 and Captan 50 WP followed both at 57.1%
