Description

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to determine the antifungal effect of some boron compouns (Di-sodium tetraborate, Boric acid, Di-sodium octaborate tetrahydrate and Borax decahydrate) against Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium pseudograminearum in maize under in-vitro conditions. Boron compounds were applied in doses of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 g L-1. PDA medium free of boron compounds was used as negative control and PDA medium containing commercial fungicide (80 g L-1 Triticonazole + 40 g L-1 PyraclostrobinBASF company) was used as positive control. The experiment was carried out in a randomized plot design with three replications. As a result of the study, the control (+) application of Di-sodium tetraborate was found to be 74.8% and 74.0% effective against F. verticillioides and F. pseudograminearum, respectively, while this effect was 62.9% and 56.8%, in 0.5 g L-1 application has been determined respectively. While boric acid showed 74.5% and 73.8% effects on control (+), F verticillioides and F pseudograminearum, respectively, this effect was 56.2% and 55.0% in 0.5 g L-1 application, respectively. Di-sodium octaborate tetrahydrate control (+) application inhibited mycelial growth of the F. verticillioides and F. pseudograminearum by 75.3% and 74.2%, respectively, while 0.5 g L-1 application inhibited 60.2% and 54.2%, respectively. In the control (+) application of Borax decahydrate, 75.5% and 75.6% effects were detected on F. verticillioides and F. pseudograminearum, respectively, while this effect was found to be 64.2% and 62.7%, respectively, in 0.5 g L-1 application. These results showed that Borax decahydrate can be used as an alternative to synthetic fungicides in the control of corn stalk rot and ear rot diseases.
