2-Cyano-JV-[(ethylamino)carbonyl]-2-(methoxyimino)acetamide, a New Fungicide 2-Cyano-iV-[(ethylamino)carbonyl]-2-(methoxyimino)acetamide (DPX-3217; active ingredient in Dupont Curzate fungicide) is a new chemical compound with systemic properties. It provides excellent postinfection curative as well as protectant activity at 80 mg of active ingredient/L for the control of late blight of tomato and potato (Phytophthora infestaos) and grape downy mildew (Plasmopora vitícola).The material has a low acute mammalian toxicity pattern with an oral LD^f or male rats of 1425 mg/kg
On the basis of an analysis of current use of terms concerning resistance to fungicides, a series of definitions is proposed for discussion. Consistent use of such terms in scientific publications will facilitate understanding and avoid possible misinterpretations.
FRAC is a GIFAP‐sponsored inter‐company committee dedicated to prolonging the effectiveness of fungicides liable to encounter resistance problems and to limit crop damage during the emergence of resistance. Through FRAC and the Working Groups it co‐ordinates, companies are striving to establish more effective communications to alert all people involved in the research, production, marketing, registration and use of fungicides to the problems of resistance. With an enlightened attitude, effective strategies can be conceived and adopted. Co‐operative action is deemed essential if the invaluable option of chemical disease control for crops is to be preserved. Working Groups for acylalanines, benzimidazoles, dicarboximides and sterol inhibitors are well organized and functioning in various monitoring studies and cooperative actions. FRAC meets regularly to review the activities of the Working Groups and to deal with the wider aspects of fungicide resistance. FRAC initiates, stimulates and monitors Working Groups, provides guidelines and co‐ordinates the efforts of the Working Groups, helps Working Groups communicate their conclusions, publicises guidelines on procedures/definitions of practical resistance research, provides technical counsel for fungicide‐resistance courses and research studies, and liaises with universities, advisers, farmers, distributors, governments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
