Abstract
During the nursery seedlings stage at Muan in 2013, moisture and temperature conditions were favorable for the occurrence of onion downy mildew. Several fungicides were evaluated for controlling onion downy mildew at the stage of seedling. The disease incidence of the untreated control was 51.1%, which was sufficient to evaluate the fungicide efficacy for the control of onion downy mildew. Incidence at the mancozeb treatment (MAN treatment) was 4.4% and it was the highest control value of 91.4%. Incidence at the various fungicides treatment (MIX treatment) consisted of amectotradin plus dimethomorph, floupicolide plus propamocarb HCl, or dimethomorph plus pyraclostrobin was 10.0%, and the control value of the MIX treatment was 80.4%. Among the tested fungicides, amectotradin plus dimethomorph (AME plus DIM treatment) was selected and treated. Incidence of AME plus DIM treatment was 12.2%. There was statistically significant difference among the three different treatments and the untreated control. These results suggest that the application of fungicides on onion nursery seedlings was effective to control the onion downy mildew.
