Abstract

SUMMARY Seven fungicides, CGA 64250, CGA 64251, procymidone, Benomyl, procymidone / Benomyl, benomyl / captab and copper oxychloride, were evaluated separately in preharvest field spray trials for the control of anthracnose, Cercospora spot and sooty blotch. Application of copper oxychloride, Benomyl, procymidone / Benomyl, benomyl / captab and CGA 64250 resulted in statistically significant reductions in the incidence of anthracnose lesions. Significantly more clean fruit was also produced after application of these fungicides, except in the case of CGA 64250. A significant reduction in the incidence of Cercospora spot was observed after treating fruit with copper oxychloride, benomyl / captab and Benomyl, while sooty blotch was significantly reduced by copper oxychloride and CGA 64250.
