Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Evaluation of dazomet as fumigant for the control of brown root rot disease Beteiligte: Fu, Chuen‐Hsu; Hu, Bau‐Yuan; Chang, Tun‐Tschu; Hsueh, Kai‐Leen; Hsu, Wei‐Tse Erschienen: Wiley, 2012 Erschienen in: Pest Management Science Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/ps.3303 ISSN: 1526-498X; 1526-4998 Schlagwörter: Insect Science ; Agronomy and Crop Science ; General Medicine Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p><jats:bold>BACKGROUND:</jats:bold> Brown root rot disease caused by <jats:italic>Phellinus noxius</jats:italic> is widespread in approximately 216 tree and plant species in tropical and subtropical countries. No direct means of protection against <jats:italic>P. noxius</jats:italic> infection have thus far been developed. Therefore, in this field survey, a method was developed for preventing and controlling brown root rot disease using fumigation with dazomet.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS:</jats:bold> Tracers were used to monitor the effect of dazomet fumigation. The results from field surveys and phytotoxicity tests showed that dazomet is able to kill <jats:italic>P. noxius</jats:italic> without any side effects on plants.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSION:</jats:bold> The use of an environmentally friendly agent to control brown root rot disease is needed, and prevention of the disease is more important than treatment. Hence, chemical fumigation with 60 g m<jats:sup>−2</jats:sup> of 98% dazomet may be a possible means of preventing <jats:italic>P. noxius</jats:italic> incursion in agriculture, gardening and agroforestry.
