Abstract
Southern corn rust caused by Puccinia dothidea is becoming one of the main diseases of maize planting in China, which seriously threatens the yield of maize in China. Currently, there is no registered pesticide to control southern corn rust in China. Therefore, it is urgent to screen out efficient pesticides to control southern corn rust and reduce the harm of multistem rust to maize yield in China. In the present study, the indoor virulence determination of spore-germination method and 2 years of field efficacy tests were used to screen the fungicides with good prevention and control efficacy on maize southern rust. The results of the indoor toxicity test in 2023 showed that the EC50 of P. dothidea to benzoflumizole was 0.0085 mg/L, and the sensitivity to thifluzamide was relatively poor, with an EC50 of 1.2585 mg/L. The mixture of pyraclostrobin and benzoflumizole at a ratio of 4:1 had the optimal synergistic effect, with an EC50 of 0.0181 mg/L and a cotoxicity coefficient of 128.36. The results of the field efficacy test revealed that 60 g/ha benzovinfluconazole had a good field control effect, and the control effect was 83.09%–85.95%. The combination of 30 g/ha benzodifluconazole and 93.75 g/ha pyraclostrobin had the optimal control effect, and the control effect was 86.92%–88.58% and safe for corn. The results indicated that the application of benzovindiflupyr and its mixture with pyraclostrobin had a good effect on the prevention and control of southern corn rust, which could provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of southern corn rust in production and scientific medication.
期刊介绍:
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
-Abiotic damage-
Agronomic control methods-
Assessment of pest and disease damage-
Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-
Biological control-
Biorational pesticides-
Control of animal pests of world crops-
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms-
Control of weeds and integrated management-
Economic considerations-
Effects of plant growth regulators-
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use-
Environmental effects of pesticides-
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control-
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications-
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses-
Integrated control-
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies-
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection-
Pesticide application methods-
Pest management-
Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-
Resistance management-
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
