Abstract
Six fungicides used in pecan culture were evaluated in vitro against the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin, both of which attack the pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn). Triphenyltin hydroxide was the most toxic fungicide to both pathogens, followed by: benomyl, methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate; zineb, zinc ethylenebis [dithiocarbamate]; and dodine, n -dodecylguanidine acetate. Sulfur and dinocap, 2-(1-methylheptyl)-4,6-dinitrophenyl crotonate, were the least toxic.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
