Evaluation of revus and other compounds for management of phytophthora blight on bell pepper

Introduction Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is a serious disease on bell pepper and several other vegetable crops. P. capsici is a soil-borne pathogen and produces different types of spores in its life cycle, such as zoospores, sporangia, and oospores, which facilitate the survival and infection of the pathogen. Phytophthora blight is among the most difficult to control. No conventional measure has shown to consistently and effectively suppress losses related to P. capsici epidemics. It is desirable to develop integrated approaches using soil treatments and foliar applications to improve the efficacy in disease control. This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating Revus, Ridomil Gold and other compounds for control of P. capsici on bell pepper.
