In vitro evaluation of plant protection chemicals for compatibility with potential bioagent Paecilomyces farinosus of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), an insect vector of tomato leaf curl virus disease.

摘要

The in vitro evaluation of various pesticides indicated that all the systemic fungicides, viz. carbendazim, metalaxyl and iprodione, were compatible with Paecilomyces farinosus with respect to growth and sporulation at their lower concentrations but were inhibitory at the higher concentrations tested. However, all non-systemic fungicides, i.e. captan, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, captafol and wettable sulfur, showed higher affinity with the fungus at all the concentrations except mancozeb. Among the insecticides, neemark showed greater compatibility at all the concentrations..
