Comparative Study on the Efficacies of 11 Chemical Agents against Taro Soft Rot Caused by Pectobacterium aroidearum

摘要

[Objective]The paper was to screen the effective agents for effectively controlling the occurrence and prevalence of taro soft rot.[Method]The fungicidal effects of 11 fungicides on taro soft rot were determined by inhibition zone method.[Result]0.3%Tetramycin,25%bromothalonil,3%Zhongshengmycin and 30%zinc thiazole had better antifungal effect on Pectobacterium aroidearum at recommended concentration.The indoor toxicity of four fungicides showed that the EC50 of 0.3%tetramycin AS was the smallest of 0.6μg/mL,indicating that tetramycin had the largest toxicity and the best inhibitory effect against P.aroidearum;followed by 25%bromothalonil EC and 3%Zhongshengmycin WP,with the EC_(50) of 2.57 and 97.72μg/mL,respectively;the inhibitory effect of 30%zinc thiazole SC against P.aroidearum was the poorest.[Conclusion]The study provides a reference for screening out new and efficient chemical agents against taro soft rot.
