  • To control effectively and safely Phytophthora root rot caused by Phytophthora capsici on tomato in hydroponic culture, tank-mixing method was considered with two pesticides, metalaxyl copper oxychloride 50% WP and dimethomorph dithianon 38% WP. Forty days after transplanting of tomato seedlings, 4 mL of sporangia of P. capsici (about 25 sporangi/mL) per plot was inoculated around tomato plant roots, and at 5 days after inoculation, the pesticides tank-mixed at three dilution levels, 12,500, 25,000 and 50,000, were drenched 1, 2 or 3 times per plot on the culture cube every 15 days for metalaxyl copper oxychloride 50% WP and every 10 days for dimethomorph dithianon 38% WP. During the drenching period, the residue levels of metalaxyl and dimethomorph in hydroponic culture solution were similar to the initial levels but the level of dithianon was drastically decreased from one day after tank-mixing. In tomato drenched with metalaxyl copper oxychloride 50% WP, metalaxyl was detected $0.02\sim0.04$ mg/kg in all diluted plots. Dimethomorph was detected $0.012\sim0.021$, $0.001\sim0.006$ and $0.001\sim0.003$ mg/kg in 12,500, 25,000 and 50,000 times diluted plots, respectively, while dithianon was detected 0.005, 0.003 mg/kg in 12,500 and 50,000 times diluted plots, respectively. The detection levels of three pesticides were far below compared with the levels of Korean MRLs. Incidences of Phytophthora root rot were not found in all the plots, but phytotoxic responses were recognized in the 12,500 times diluted plots of both pesticides. Based on the above results, the drenching of the culture solution tank-mixed with these pesticides could be recommended as a very safe and effective method to control Phytophthora root rot in tomato in hydroponic culture.

  • To establish effective and safe control method against Phytophthora root rot caused by Phytophthora capsici on tomato in hydroponic culture, three pesticides, oxadixyl copper hydroxide 8% WP, metalaxyl copper oxychloride 15% WP, and dimethomorph. dithianon 38% WP at 4 concentration levels were tested on potato dextrose agar medium inoculated with Phytophthora capsici. All pesticides inhibited mycelial growth, but two pesticides of them, metalaxyl copper oxychloride WP and dimethomorph. dithianon WP, were selected as effective pesticides for the efficacy test in a hydroponic culture. Forty days after transplanting of tomato seedlings, 4 ml of sporangia of P. capsici (about 25 sporangi/ml) per plot was inoculated around tomato plant root, and then 5 days after inoculation, the pesticides diluted at 5,000 times were drenched 1, 2 or 3 times per plot on the culture cube at 15 days interval. Fifteen days after drenching, tomato fruits and hydroponic culture solution were sampled for the analysis of pesticide residues. Dimethomorph was detected 0.001 and 0.003 mg/kg in tomato of the plots sprayed 2 and 3 times with dimethomorph dithianon WP of which detection levels were far below compared with 1.0 mg/kg of the Korean MRL of dimethomorph on tomato. Incidences of Phytophthora root rot were $30.5{\sim}50%$ in the plots drenched at 1 or 2 times with metalaxyl.copper oxychloride WP, and $16.7{\sim}25%$ in the plots treated with dimethomorph dithianon WP. However, there was no incidence of Phytophthora root rot in the plots treated at 3 times with both of pesticides, showing no phytotoxic effect. Based on the results, the drenching of these pesticides on the culture cube could be recommended as a very safe and effective control method for Phytophthora root rot in tomato.

  • With the goal of achieving better integrated pest management for hot pepper, a disease-forecasting system was compared to a conventional disease-control method. Experimental field plots were established at Asan, Chungnam, in 2005 to 2006, and hourly temperature and leaf wetness were measured and used as model inputs. One treatment group received applications of a protective fungicide, dithianon, every 7 days, whereas another received a curative fungicide, dimethomorph, when the model-determined infection risk (IR) exceeded a value of 3. In the unsprayed plot, fruits showed 18.9% (2005) and 14.0% (2006) anthracnose infection. Fruits sprayed with dithianon at 7-day intervals had 4.7% (2005) and 15.4% (2006) infection. The receiving model-advised sprays of dimethomorph had 9.4% (2005) and 10.9% (2006) anthracnose infection. Differences in the anthracnose levels between the conventional and model-advised treatments were not statistically significant. The efficacy of 10 (2005) and 8 (2006) applications of calendar-based sprays was same as that of three (2005 and 2006) sprays based on the disease-forecast system. In addition, we found much higher the IRs with the leaf wetness sensor from the field plots comparing without leaf wetness sensor from the weather station at Asan within 10km away. Since the wetness-periods were critical to forecast anthracnose in the model, the measurement of wetness-period in commercial fields must be refined to improve the anthracnose-forecast model.
