Effectiveness of fungicides against head blight of wheat caused by Fusarium culmorum

Abstract

Fungicides were tested in 1996 and 1997 for their efficacy to control Fusarium culmorum after inoculation of winter wheat in the early flowering stage. The best results were achieved with metconazole and a mixture of tebuconazole with triadimefon or triadi­ menol. Good results were achieved with epoxiconazole, cyproconazole, flusilazol and bromuconazole.
