THE FATE OF FUNGICIDE OXADIXYL IN A TURF-PODZOLIC SOIL

Some aspects of the systemic oxadixyl fungicide fate in sod-podzolic s oils under different crops have been investigated. Oxadixyl is shown t o be resistant to microbial effects, although microbial communities di d not display serious changes in their properties. The application of fungicide, as it is recommenced, is but weakly inhibiting the light-co lored mycelium of microscopic fungi. Oxadixyl is sensitive to the sunl ight, and it is accumulating in cucumbers in greenhouse. The fungicide may be recommended to be applied in preparative forms and being mixed with contact fungicides.
