Abstract

Metalaxyl gave nearly 100% control of sorghum downy mildew (Peronosclerospora sorghi) in corn (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) at seed treatment rates as low as 0.05 g a.i./kg. Stands of corn and sorghum were reduced at metalaxyl seed treatment rates higher than 1 g a.i./kg. Fosetyl-Al gave 91–99% control of sorghum downy mildew in sorghum at seed treatment rates of 5 and 10 g a.i./kg
