Synthesis and antifungal evaluation of benzothiazol-2-ylcarbamodithioates against covered smut and loose smut infections in barley and wheat

摘要

The control of plant diseases like covered smut of barley and loose smut of wheat caused by fungal plant pathogens is extremely important for achieving high crop productivity. Covered smut of barley and loose smut of wheat caused by Ustilago hordei and U. tritici, respectively are one of the major problems of these crops. The first reported chemicals exhibiting systemic fungicidal activity towards these fungi was carboxiins (1,4,-oxathiin derivatives), marketed as 'Vitavax'.
