Fungicidal control of black spot ( ColLetotrichum acutatum) and grey mould (Botrytis cinerea) on strawberry fruit in south-eastern Queensland

Abstract

In a strawberry fruit rot control trial, dichlofluanid satisfactorily controlled both black spot (Colletotrichum acutatum) and grey mould (Botrytis cinerea). Black spot was also effectively controlled by captafol, captan, mezineb and "Daconil 2787", while benomyl and methyl topsin controlled grey mould. Infections of black spot apparently latent in
nature were not controlled by any of the fungicides tested. "Daconil 2787" and dichloran were phytotoxic.
