Evaluation of the Fungicidal Effect of Some Commercial Disinfectant and Sterilizer Agents Formulated as Soluble Liquid against Sclerotium rolfsii Infected Tomato Plant
Abstract:Globally, root rot disease of tomato plants caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is a severe disease leading to the death of infected plants. The effect of some commercial antiseptics and disinfectant agents, such as chloroxylenol (10%), phenic (10%) and formulated phenol (7%) on the control of root rot pathogen and its impact on growth and chemical constituents of tomato seedlings cv. Castle Rock were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The antifungal activity was measured in vitro following the poisoned food techniqu… Show more
“…The use of these biorational products in the control of these diseases in greenhouse production has the potential to be incorporated into an integrated program for the management of the examined diseases in tomatoes [ 8 ]. Moreover, in the same conditions, the control of Sclerotium rolfsii , a destructive disease for many plants, including tomatoes, could be successfully undertaken using some antiseptic and disinfectant agents [ 9 ].…”
