TL;DR: In this article, the results of a study into the persistence of triphenyltin (=fentin) acetate in soil are presented, showing that the fungicide is degraded biologically 50% being decomposed in 140 days.
Abstract: The results of a study into the persistence of triphenyltin (=fentin) acetate in soil are presented. The fungicide is degraded biologically 50% being decomposed in 140 days. The photochemical degradation of fentin acetate into inorganic tin via diphenyltin and monophenyltin compounds also is demonstrated. The leaching of fentin acetate in soil and its effect on soil nitrification is discussed.
TL;DR: Three systemic fungicides and seven non-systemic ones at concentrations recommended for field use inhibited germination of conidia of Entomophthora aphidis and inhibited mycelial growth of the fungus in vitro, and benomyl, fentin acetate with maneb, maneb and thiram killed the fungus.
Abstract: Three systemic fungicides (benomyl, ethirimol and tridemorph) and seven non-systemic ones (captafol, captan, fentin acetate with maneb, mancozeb, maneb, thiram and zineb) at concentrations recommended for field use inhibited germination of conidia of Entomophthora aphidis. All inhibited mycelial growth of the fungus in vitro, and benomyl, fentin acetate with maneb, maneb and thiram killed the fungus. Benomyl, tridemorph and thiram were aphicidal : each of the others, except captafol and zineb, decreased the infectivity of E. aphidis for living pea aphids, 6 h after they were treated topically with the fungicides. Each except captafol, zineb and maneb, was still active when the aphids were inoculated 48 h after treatment. When aphids were inoculated 4 h before treatment with fungicides, each of these except zineb, still decreased the infectivity of the fungus, although fungicide treatment 22 or 70 h after inoculation had little effect. The number of conidia discharged from infected aphid cadavers treated with the fungicides was diminished by benomyl and tridemorph and increased by captafol and captan.
TL;DR: The phylloplane flora of potato leaves was examined from the time of shoot emergence through to leaf senescence and Saprophytic fungi were in general found to be more susceptible to captafol than to maneb plus fentin acetate.
Abstract: The phylloplane flora of potato leaves was examined from the time of shoot emergence through to leaf senescence. Studies on untreated leaves have been combined with others in which the plants were sprayed using one of two fungicides currently in use for late blight control. Saprophytic fungi were in general found to be more susceptible to captafol than to maneb plus fentin acetate. Bacterial numbers were apparently unaltered by the spray treatments.
TL;DR: In Serres and Imathia, which were more heavily treated with sterol demethylation-inhibiting fungicides (DMIs), populations clearly showed decreased sensitivity, although to a smaller frequency than in earlier surveys when more DMI sprays were being applied.
TL;DR: Application of various fungicides to cotton plots affected byAlternaria macrospora resulted in a yield increase from 3955 kg/ha in unsprayed plots to 5207 kg/ ha in plots treated with fentin acetate, with no significant difference between treatments and no correlation with the size of the pathogen population or the yield level in variously treated plots.
Abstract: Application of various fungicides to cotton plots (Gossypium barbadense cv. Pima) affected byAlternaria macrospora resulted in a yield increase from 3955 kg/ha in unsprayed plots to 5207 kg/ha in plots treated with fentin acetate. Pathogen, host and disease parameters were estimated by a key of grades in the field and by precise measurements of detached plants. Measurements included the number of spores present in the field and numbers and/or areas of healthy, lesioned and shed leaves and bolls.
