In vitro study of baseline sensitivity of important fungi against different fungicides

Baseline sensitivity values of important phytopathogenic fungi were studied against fungicides. ED50, ED90 and MIC value of propiconazole for, Colletotrichum capsici, and Gloeosporium ampelophagum was in the range of 0.020-0.04 μg/ml. ED50 values of tebuconazole for Alternaria alternata was 30.0 μg/ml. Azoxystrobin was also tested for its ED50, ED90 and MIC values against Alternaria alternata, C. capsici, G. ampelophagum and Botrytis cinerea where the values were in the range of 0.019-50.0, 0.03-60.0 and 0.2-100.0 μg/ml respectively. Baseline sensitivity values are important for the management of plant diseases and resistance development.
