Abstract
Vinca minor production in Oklahoma nurseries has declined in recent years due to foliar diseases. A study was conducted to determine whether several labeled and experimental fungicides control these foliar diseases in Vinca minor `Bowles'. This study was conducted outdoors under unusually mild and humid conditions, which were conducive factors for disease symptoms to occur throughout the season. Plants were sprayed at weekly intervals with the fungicides propiconazole (0.95 ml/liter), thiophanate methyl (1.58 ml/liter), thiophanate methyl/mancozeb (1.79 g/liter), triforine (3.95 ml/liter), CC 17461 (3.95 ml/liter), CGA 173506 (0.47/liter), or SAN 619 (0.79 ml/liter). Thiophanate methyl/mancozeb was the most effective of all chemicals at decreasing foliar dieback; however, no chemical completely controlled the disease symptoms throughout the season. Dry weights of plants treated with thiophanate methyl/mancozeb were greater at the end of the season than those of plants receiving the other fungicidal treatments.
