Abstract
SUMMARYBenomyl, thiabendazole and thiophanate‐methyl were found to be fungistatic against Verticillium dahliae in vitro. All materials suppressed wilt symptoms on artificially inoculated strawberry plants when applied as a root dip, soil drench or a foliar application.Quantitative bioassays of the amount of toxic residues and fungal colonization in tissues of treated plants after root treatment revealed that these materials or their toxic breakdown products were readily translocated to crown and leaves: they suppressed the internal spread of the pathogen throughout the plant. After foliar application there was no marked basipetal movement of material within the plant: fungal colonization was greatly reduced in treated leaves, but the roots and crowns were colonized to a similar extent to those of untreated plants.
