Twelve fungicides were screened against the soft rot pathogens of yam tubers. Benomyl and thiabendazole were the only fungicides which completely prevented infection either by spore suspensions or mycelial discs of the pathogens. Captan, iprodione and mancozeb prevented infection by spore suspensions, but did not give complete protection against infection from the mycelial disc of all the pathogens.
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.
