Summary
Four sterol inhibiting fungicides, two general biocides, and three nonfumigant nematicides were tested for their activity against the mycorrhizal fungi,Glomus intraradicas orG. mosseae. Of the four fungicides, propiconazole was the most inhibitory and triforine the least. These fungicides act systemically, and directly on the fungus in soil. One of the biocides, methylenebis-thiocyanate was toxic toG. mosseae, the other Bis-bromoacetoxy-2-Butene was not. All nematicides, aldicarb, fenamiphos and fensulfothion, had little or no inhibitory effect on the fungi.
