The In Vitro Effect Of Certain Fungicides, Insecticides, And Biopesticides On Mycelial Growth In The Biocontrol Fungus Trichoderma Harzianum, Soumik Sarkar, Pradeepa Narayanan, Ajay Divakaran, Angusamy Balamurugan, Robert Premkumar
Turkish Journal of Biology
The in vitro effect of certain fungicides, insecticides, and biopesticides on mycelial growth of Trichoderma harzianum was evaluated. Seven systemic fungicides, 2 contact fungicides, and 4 biopesticides were tested. A progressive increase in percent inhibition of radial growth in the fungus was observed as the concentrations of the fungicides increased. Among the systemic fungicides, hexaconazole was the most toxic, followed by propiconazole and triflumizole. Toxicity of the contact fungicides was lower than that of the systemic fungicides, among which copper oxychloride and copper hydroxide were highly compatible; no inhibition was observed at lower concentrations. In terms of the insecticides tested, …

Insecticide Resistanca In Maleria Vector An. Sacharovi, Ümi̇t Lüleyap, Hali̇l Kasap
Turkish Journal of Biology
Susceptibility tests have been successfully used for many years to determine insecticide resistance raised in pest and vector insects, including An. sacharovi,the primary human malaria vector in Turkey. As this method does not provide sufficient information about physiological resistance, an alternative method of enzyme tests based on biochemical and genetic evaluations has been developed. In this study, both methods were used for comparison. First of all, susceptibility to insecticides was tested in adult females of An. sacharovi collected in different seasons from Tabaklar and Herekli Villages, where insecticides are used intensively for both agricultural and vector control purposes, and from …
