Essai de lutte chimique contre la carie du blé en Tunisie
Abstract
Chemical Control of Common Wheat Bunt Disease in Tunisia. In Tunisia, chemical treatment of common wheat seeds inoculated with common bunt (Tilletia foetidaj proved that the fungicides : flutriafol 2.5 % + thiabendazole 2.5 %, triticonazole 2.5 %, difenoconazole 3 % and copper oxyquinoleate betaxate 10 % + carboxin 50 % were efficient against the infection (less than 5 % ofthe spikes were infected). But, maneb 48 % and copper oxyquinoleate betaxate 10 % were relatively less efficient (5 to 10 % of the spikes were infected). Inoculated control had 43 % of bunted spikes.
