The present study showed that dimethomorph is effective on controlling the oomycete fungal pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis causing downy mildew on cucumber. The fungicide did not affect zoospores discharge from sporangia of P. cubensis, but it strongly inhibited mycelial growth and sporangial production in vitro and increased lysis of zoospores. Dose of 2 mg L^-1 of dimethomorph was sufficient to inhibit mycelial growth and sporangial production of P. cubensis on leaf disks, 5 mg L^-1 was enough to lyse zoospores of P. cubensis, and 25 mg L^-1 was required to inhibit sporangial production on detached leaves. In whole plant tests, dimethomorph exhibited strong protective and curative activity. Dimethomorph when applied at a dose of 300 mg L^-1 for 1, 3, 5, 7 days before inoculation exhibited 100% efficacy on disease control. On the other hand, efficacies of 67.1 and 31.5% were obtained when the same dose of dimethomorph was applied for 1 and 3 days after inoculation, respectively. So dimethomorph had persistence effect on leaves for 7 days at least and exhibited strong protective and curative activity. Bioassay analyses showed that dimethomorph could be translocated in the xylem system, redistributed in the leaf, and penetrated from the upper surface to the lower surface of the leaf but could not be translocated in phloem system or transferred from the roots to leaves of cucumber plants in sufficient amounts for disease control. The biocharacteristics of dimethomorph make it well suitable for integration of a control programme against downy mildew disease on cucumber and as a component to delay other peronosporomycetes fungicide-resistance development.展开更多

The sensitivity of P. cubensis to cymoxanil presented a single-peak curve, which was approximately normal distribution, and no strains with decreased sensitivity were found. The average EC50 (0.062 4 μg/mL) could be used as the sensitivity baseline of P. cubensis to cymoxanil. Among the 69 strains, 16 were low-resistance strains, accounting for 23.19% of the total strains;53 were sensitive strains, accounting for 76.81%, which were dominant populations;and no medium-resistance and high resistance strains were found. The resistance of P. cubensis to cymoxanil ranged from 0.11 to 2.15 times, and the average resistant level was 1.00 times.[Conclusion] Cymoxanil showed strong inhibitory effect against P. cubensis.展开更多
