Abstract

AbstractAn assessment was made of the effects of several fungicides on the formation of zoosporangia, the release of zoospores from zoosporangia, zoospore motility, germ tube formation and mycelial growth, by Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. Compounds active against mycelial growth (such as metalaxyl and furalaxyl), as well as those active against zoospores (such as captafol and zineb), could be detected by a lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) assay which has been developed. This assay may be useful as a screening procedure to detect new fungicides.
