Abstract
The in vitro effectiveness of six agrochemicals (captan, epoxiconazole, azoxistrobin, folpet in combination with cymoxanil and ofurace, carbendazim plus flutriafol, and flusilazole plus carbendazim) was tested against Cryphonectria parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight. Epoxiconazol was the most effective product since it inhibited fungal growth even at the lowest concentration tested.
Additional keywords: chemical control, fungicides.
