Effects of four fungicides on the growth of Phytophthora colocasiae.

Abstract

The efficiency of four fungicides in controlling Phytophthora colocasiae Raciborski was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Du-ter and Ridomil were found to effect excellent control of fungal development but the phytotoxicity of Du-ter rendered it unsuitable for use on taro. Cuprox and Aliette were found to be less effective.
