Abstract
Active ingredient Trifloxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin class of fungicides which possess
improved safety and environmental characteristics. The objective of this research was to
evaluate the efficacy of seed treatment fungicides based on Trifloxystrobin to control seed rot
and pre-emergence damping off of canola, pulses, and corn crops. In 2004-2006, canola, pulses,
and corn trials were conducted in Saskatchewan (Aberdeen, Allan, Indian Head, and Wakaw),
Alberta (Vegreville), and Manitoba (High Bluff). The experimental design used was a
randomized complete block design with four replications. Seed treatments fungicide tested were
Trilex FL (trifloxystrobin [10g]/100 kg of seed); Trilex AL (trifloxystrobin [5g] + Allegiance
FL (metalaxyl) [4g]/100 kg of seed); and Trilex FL (trifloxystrobin [5g]/100 kg of seed) tank
mixed with Allegiance FL (metalaxyl) [2g]/100 kg of seed) Plants were counted at 14 to 28
days after planting. Data were analyzed using an ANOVA. Trifloxystrobin based seed treatment
fungicides possessed excellent efficacy for controlling seed rot and pre-emergence damping-off
of canola, pea, lentil, chickpea, and corn crops grown in soils infected with Rhizoctonia solani or
Fusarium avenaceum.
