Protection of oil flax sowings of fusariose in the central zone of the Krasnodar region

According to the last phytosanitary monitoring of oil flax sowings in the central zone of the Krasnodar region, the general disease infecting the crop is fusariose (pathogen Fusarium Link). Due to research results obtained in 2015-2017, the disease prevalence did not exceed 28.0% on seedlings of oil flax, while in a phase of maturity (in 2017) about 86.5% of plants were infected by the pathogen in favorable weather conditions. Thus, the purpose of the work was to develop protection measures against fusariose for oil flax. These measures are based on before-sowing seed treatment by pesticides and application of chemicals for plants protection during vegetative period. In the laboratory of plant protection in VNIIMK, we composed perspective pesticide mixtures, each one including a fungicide (Zato, VGD (500 g per kg) or Lamador, SK (250 + 150 g per liter), an insecticide (Komandor, KE (200 g per liter) or Poncho, KS (200 g per liter) and a complex of agricultural chemicals (MiBAS, SILK, Aquamix and potassium humate), which revealed a protective impact on fusariose during the whole vegetative period of the crop, till the full maturity...
