초록

The effect of the electrolyzed oxidizing water on Sphaerotheca fuliginea was investigated with germination and sporulation of the fungal conidia. The sporulation was inhibited by the electrolyzed oxidizing water of pH 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5, but was not inhibited by the distilled water adjusted pH with 1N-HCL solution. However, the electrolyzed oxidizing water did not affect conidial germination. The oxidation-reduction potential at pH 2.5 and pH 3.5 of electrolyzed oxidizing water were 1130 mV and 1060 mV, respectively, but those of distilled water adjusted with HCL solution were 550 mV and 490 mV, respectively. When the electrolyzed oxidizing water of ORP over 1100 mV was sprayed on cucumplanting, the disease severities of powdery mildew were about 8.5% and 19.2%, respectively. Disease severity of a standard control (triflumizole 30% WP, $500\textrm{mg}\textrm{/L}$) was about 3.0%, while that of plants without electrolyzed oxidizing water was to 45.8%.
