Studies on in vitro activity of picoxystrobin and its mixtures with other fungicides against Ramulispora herpotrichoides and Ramulispora acuformis

The activity of picoxystrobin and its mixtures with standard fungicides against isolates of eyespot cereal disease agents was estimated in laboratory in vitro tests. The tested Ramulispora herpotrichoides and R. acuformis isolates differed in response to carbendazim. Picoxystrobin at concentration from 0.05 to 50 mg/L not totally inhibited the mycelium growth of tested pathogens on PDA medium. But carbendazim sensitive R. herpotrichoides isolates were a little more susceptible to strobilurin derivate than carbendazim resistant R. herpotrichoides isolate and R. acuformis strains. The effect of picoxystrobin at concentration 0.5 mg/L as partner in mixture with standard fungicide at concentration 0.1 mg/L (carbendazim, prochloraz or cyprodinil) was assessed as the additive. It was relatively most noticeably in tests with R. acuformis and picoxystrobin plus cyprodinil mixture that was for mixture recommended as tank-mix or as manufacture product.
