Sk. Sugha et al., SENSITIVITY OF AECIOSPORES AND UREDOSPORES OF THE PEA RUST PATHOGEN TO SELECTED SYSTEMIC FUNGICIDES, Tropical agriculture, 71(1), 1994, pp. 27-30
An evaluation was made of the sensitivities of aeciospores and uredosp
ores of Uromyces viciaefabae, an incitant of pea rust, to 10 systemic
fungicides (benomyl, bitertanol, carbendazim, dinobuton, flutriafol, h
exaconazole, myclobutanil, thiabendazole, thiophanate-methyl, and tria
dimefon). Aeciospores were found to be most sensitive to thiabendazole
, followed by benomyl, carbendazim, and thiophanate-methyl, and least
to bitertanol; uredospores showed most sensitivity to triadimefon, din
obuton, and myclobutanil and least to bitertanol. Both types of spore
showed similar trends in their sensitivities to the fungicides tested
except to flutriafol where a reverse trend in sensitivity was observed
. Differences in sensitivity of these types of spore to fungicides was
attributed to differences in their morphology and longevity.
