Description
Summary:The effects of biological treatments with PlantShield®, Prestop®, Quadra 136, RootShield®, and S33 (Rhodosporidium diobovatum) and chemical treatment with Decree® applied as a preventive or curative sprays on stem canker caused by Botrytis cinerea on tomato plants grown in sawdust were studied under near-commercial greenhouse conditions. Prestop® and Decree®, applied as preventive or curative sprays, PlantShield® applied as curative spray, and S33 and Q-136 applied as preventive or preventive plus one spray to wounded surface provided season-long protection from B. cinerea stem canker. These treatments also increased fruit yield and decreased the number of dead plants compared with the inoculated control.
