- Title
The Effect of Systemic Fungicides on the Aphid Pathogen, Cephalosporium aphidicola.
- Authors
Wilding, Neil
- Abstract
This article cites a study that described the effect of systemic fungicides on the aphid pathogen, Cephalosporium (C.) aphidicola. Development of C. aphidicola was inhibited in vitro by the fungicides benomyl and triarimol but not by dimethirimol. However, neither triarimol nor dimethirimol inhibited the fungus in individuals of the aphid, Aphis gossypii, that fed on cucumber plants treated with the fungicides. Plants treated with benomyl were aphicidal. For the tests in vitro, filter-paper discs containing fungicide were placed on the surface of nutrient agar containing viable spores of C. aphidicola in petri dishes, which were later examined for zones round the discs where fungal growth was inhibited.
