Control of Large Patch Catch by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 by Combined Application of Antagonists and Chemicals

길항균과 농약의 조합처리에 의한 갈색퍼짐병(라지패취) 방제

A synergistic effect of biocontrol agent and chemicals on control of the large patch on turfgrass caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 was evaluated. Chemicals; mepronil, toclofos-methyl and iprodione inhibited 90∼100% mycelial growth of R. solani AG1 and AG2-2 in vitro. While on the other, the chemicals inhibited only 0∼5%, 18∼46% and 30∼67% of mycelial growth of the antagonists, respectively. In field application, toclofos-methyl was the best to suppress the disease in single application, however, the combination of mepronil and T. viride 41D showed highest disease control effect among combinations of antagonists and chemicals. Effect of the combination of mepronil and T. viride 41D was similar to that of toclofos-methyl and T. viride 41D stage of disease development, but became higher in six week late. Results indicated that the combined application of selected antagonistic agent and chemical increased control efficasy of turgrass large patch.
