Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Mixing kasugamycin with other fungicides gave little advantage in bacterial spot control.
- Intervention effect Kasugamycin alone controlled tomato bacterial spot as effectively as copper plus mancozeb in four field trials.
- Intervention effect Kasugamycin mixed with copper plus mancozeb gave no benefit for bacterial spot control in four trials.
- Intervention effect Alternating kasugamycin with copper plus mancozeb improved bacterial spot control in one of three trials.
- Mechanism Rapid resistance development in field X. perforans may shorten the effective use of kasugamycin.
