Abstract
We, the Editors and Publisher of Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection have retracted the following article: Wendu Admasu, Assefa Sintayehu & Alemu Gezahgne. In vitro assessment of fungicides efficacy against fungal isolates causing Eucalyptus stem canker diseases in Ethiopia DOI: 10.1080/03235408.2022.2140468. Volume 55, 2022–Issue 18 Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data presented in the article. These concerns relate specifically to the images in Figures 1 and 3. Figure 1, Control, top row, and Control, bottom row, are duplicated. Figure 3, L1500ppm and V1500ppm are duplicated. Figure 3, Control, top row, and Control, third row, are duplicated. Figure 3, R1000ppm and S500ppm are duplicated. Figure 3, R1500, R2000ppm, and S2000ppm are duplicated. Figure 3, Control, second row, and Control, bottom row, are duplicated. When approached for an explanation, the authors have been unable to address the concerns raised and have not been able to provide sufficient original data from their study. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The authors listed in this publication have been informed and agree with the retraction. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
