Efficacy of sterol-inhibiting fungicides and SAR chemicals for control of black root rot of cotton in the absence and presence of nematodes Harun Toksoz
Outline • Black root rot • Sterol-inhibiting fungicides & SAR chemicals • Objective • Materials and methods • Results • Conclusions
Black Root Rot • Caused by Thielaviopsisbasicola • Found in almost all major production areas • Pathogen has a host range of more than 230 species • Rarely kills plants • Causes stunting • Results in less vigorous plants • Delays flowering • Reduces yield
Sterol-inhibiting fungicides and SAR chemicals Myclobutanil and triadimenol Triadimenol (Arthur, 1991) Myclobutanil (Butler et al. 1996) Bion (Acibenzolar-S-methyl) Mondal et al. 2005

Objective • Evaluate the efficacy of sterol-inhibiting fungicides and SAR chemicals alone and in combination on black root rot. • Systhane (Myclobutanil) • Bion (Acibenzolar-S-methyl)
Materials and Methods • Artificially infested experiments • Controlled environmental experiments • Naturally infested experiments • Controlled environmental experiments • Field experiments
Artificially Infested Experiments • Controlled environmental experiments • 15 °C night • 24 °C day • 14 h daylight period • Infested with • M. incognita (16 eggs per g soil) • T. basicola (100 chlamydospores perg soil) • Both pathogens • None • 15 different seed treatments • Terminate 28 DAP • 2 experiments
Naturally Infested Experiments 1. Controlled environmental experiments • 7 different treatments • 4 replications • 3 different soils 2. Field experiments • 11 different treatments
Data Collection • Disease assessments • % Root discoloration (0-10) • Hypocotyl discoloration (1-4) • Galling (on root system and tap roots) • Percent colonization (0-10) / incidence
Results • Artificially infested experiments • Naturally infested experiments • Controlled environmental experiments • Field experiments
Conclusions • Sterol-inhibiting fungicides are effective • Bion is effective • Population of pathogen • Plant growth, incidence…
