Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Fusarium fungi did not reduce maize seed germination.
- Observation Most Fusarium isolates caused seed and radicle decay and arrested radicle development.
- Intervention effect All three fungicides reduced Fusarium colonization and decay of maize seeds and radicles.
- Intervention effect All three fungicides increased maize radicle length.
- Association Fungicide effects varied significantly by Fusarium isolate.
- Intervention effect Difenoconazole was most effective for prevention of seed colonization and decay.
- Intervention effect Fludioxonil was most effective for increased radicle length, especially with F. graminearum.
- Observation F. graminearum isolates were among the most aggressive.
- Observation Some Fusarium isolates caused maize root rot.
- Intervention effect All three fungicides improved shoot and root length and root health.
- Intervention effect Difenoconazole and fludioxonil improved emergence.
- Intervention effect Only difenoconazole improved dry weight.
- Association Laboratory and growth chamber results were rank correlated for isolate aggressiveness and fungicide efficacy.
- Method / resource Laboratory experiments were more sensitive to fungicide performance differences.
