ABSTRACT
The study evaluates the effects of selected fungicides on radial mycelial growth and the germination of teliospores and
sporidia in two species. The influence of fungicides on the growth of the same developmental forms of both fungi varied at times.
Germination of teliospores
Ustilago maydis
in all used concentrations completely inhibited the fungicides: benomyl, carboxin and
thiram, flusilazole.
Complete inhibition the germination of teliospores and sporidia
Sphacelotheca reiliana
caused grapefruit extract, benomyl, carboxin and
thiram at concentrations of 10,000 to 100 mg/ml and azoxystrobin, flusilazole at concentrations of 10,000 to 1,000 mg/ml. Inhibition of
mycelial growth of both species by the fungicides used was weaker than the inhibition the germination of teliospores and sporidia
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The authors have declared that no conflict of interests exist.
