Abstract
SUMMARY: The in vitro fungistatic activity of some twenty‐four metal cations has been determined against Alternaria tenuis and Botrytis fabae. The metal salts, mainly nitrates, were tested in aqueous solution without added spore germination stimulant. The logarithm of the metal ion concentration at the ED 50 value has been found to conform to the exponential relationship with electronegativity proposed by Danielli & Davies (1951). These results are discussed in relation to the site of action of metal cations on the fungal cell.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
