Abstract
Azoxystrobin at 0.25 g/m2 applied by spraying roots achieved very good control of Phytophthora cryptogea an important pathogen of witloof chicory. Its efficacy was better than propamocarb-HCl at 7.22 g/m2, with a reduction of 50–90% in the root infection rate at the end of the forcing period. In one trial, the efficacy of azoxystrobin was better than that obtained with fosetyl-Al at 12 g/m2.
