Potassium bicarbonate has widespread use in crops, especially for neutralizing acidic soil. [11]Potassium bicarbonate is an effective fungicide against powdery mildew and apple scab, allowed for use in organic farming.
The most effective non-conventional methods of chemical control against powdery mildew are milk, natural sulfur (S 8 >), potassium bicarbonate, metal salts, and oils. [12] Powdery mildew on a maple leaf as seen under a scanning electron microscope. Metal salt fungicides should be applied on a regular basis up until harvest of the host. [12]
There are numerous fungicides on the market for controlling early blight. Some of the fungicides on the market are (azoxystrobin), pyraclostrobin, Bacillus subtilis, chlorothalonil, copper products, hydrogen dioxide (Hydroperoxyl), mancozeb, potassium bicarbonate, and ziram. [16] Specific spraying regiments are found on the label.
The most effective fungicides for bitter rot control include the multisite mode-of-action fungicide captan, the osmotic signal transduction disrupter fludioxonil, the oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler fluazinam, the QOI inhibitors pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin, and the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) benzovindiflupyr.
This is a list of fungicides. These are chemical compounds which have been registered as agricultural fungicides . The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [ 1 ]
These measures use the natural environment to enhance agricultural productivity: legumes are planted to fix nitrogen into the soil, natural insect predators are encouraged, crops are rotated to confuse pests and renew soil, and natural materials such as potassium bicarbonate [48] and mulches are used to control disease and weeds.
Insecticidal soap is used to control many plant insect pests. Soap has been used for more than 200 years as an insect control. [1] Because insecticidal soap works on direct contact with pests via the disruption of cell membranes when the insect is penetrated with fatty acids, the insect's cells leak their contents causing the insect to dehydrate and die.
