Abstract
Thifluzamide is a SDHI (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor) fungicide, which interferes with succinate ubiquinone reductase in the mitochondrial electron transport chain of fungi. Presently, jinggangmycin is the major fungicide extensively used for the control of rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani and resistance to jinggangmycin was first reported to occur in China. A total of 128 isolates of R. solani from Anhui Province of China were characterised for the baseline sensitivity to thifluzamide. The isolates were very sensitive to thifluzamide and the baseline sensitivity curve was unimodal with an average EC 50 value of 0.058 ± 0.012 µg mL −1 . However, EC 50 values of boscalid (another SDHI fungicide) for inhibition of mycelial growth of 22 arbitrarily selected R. solani isolates ranged from 1.89 to 2.68 µg mL −1 . Thifluzamide applied at 110 µg mL −1 exhibited excellent protective and curative activity against rice sheath blight and provided 81.1–91.0% protective or curative control efficacy. In field trials in 2010 and 2011, control efficacies of thifluzamide at 82 g.a.i ha −1 15 and 30 days after second application were 84.2% and 86.7%, respectively, suggesting excellent activity against sheath blight. There was a statistically significant difference in the efficacy between thifluzamide and boscalid or jinggangmycin. These results suggested that thifluzamide should be a good alternative fungicide to jinggangmycin for the control of rice sheath blight.
