Title
Substituted benzoic and picolinic acids as foliar sprays against potato common scab
A. H. McINTOSH; G. L. BATEMAN; K. CHAMBERLAIN Annals of Applied Biology 1988. doi:10.1111/j.1744-7348.1988.tb02078.x
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Monosubstituted benzoic acids at 25 mM did not affect potato scab.
- Intervention effect Two 2,5-disubstituted acids reduced potato scab severity by about 35%.
- Intervention effect Three 2,5-disubstituted benzoic acids reduced potato scab severity by over 50%.
- Intervention effect Clopyralid reduced potato scab severity by over 50%.
- Intervention effect None of the potato spray treatments affected tuber yield or shape.
- Intervention effect Two scab-active benzoic acids caused no visible foliage effects.
- Observation The scab-effective 2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid isomer was among the least toxic to S. scabies in culture.
- Mechanism The authors propose that 2,5-disubstituted acids reduce scab by altering host response to infection.
