The application efficiency of organic fungicides against soybean diseases in the central zone of the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation

Abstract

Diseases are one of the main factors limiting the receiving of high yields of soybean. The use of biopreparations for plant protection will result in successful disease control and improve the quality of products. In 2018-2020, at V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops (Krasnodar), we studied the application effectiveness of biopreparations under the trademarks of BSka-3 with the active ingredients Trichoderma veride, Pseudomonas koreensis, Bacillus subtilis and BFTIM with the active ingredient Bacillus amyloliquefaciens against soybean diseases. We applied organic fungicides for seed treatment and on vegetative plants at the budding stage. The variants BSka-3 G + BFTIM G (62 %) and BSka-3 Zh + BFTIM Zh (50 %) showed the highest biological effectiveness against purple Cercospora blight, and the variant BSka-3 E + BFTIM E showed 66 % and 52 % of effectiveness against pustular and angular spot diseases. The biological effectiveness of Pyraclostrobin, EC against purple Cercospora blight, pustular and angular spot diseases was the lowest – 21, 12, and 10 %, respectively. We observed the best economic efficiency in case of application of BSka-3 E + BFTIM G – 2.31 t/ha.
