Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Potassium, calcium and zinc phosphites inhibited Sclerotinia sclerotiorum mycelial growth in vitro compared with no phosphites.
- Intervention effect Potassium phosphite sprayed on soybean reduced white mold lesion area by 90% relative to water-sprayed plants in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Calcium phosphite sprayed on soybean reduced white mold lesion area by 98% relative to water-sprayed plants in the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Phosphite-sprayed soybean leaflets kept the photosynthetic apparatus more functional, especially with Ca phosphite, owing to smaller lesions.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that K, Ca and Zn phosphites reduce white mold mainly through a contact effect on fungal mycelial growth.
