Summary

Three herbicides, Treflan, Basagran and Avadex BW and three pesticides, Metasystox 55, Nicotine and Hostathion stimulated the growth of Fusarium solanif. sp. phaseoli in culture and increased the virulence of this pathogen on Phaseolus vulgaris. The implications of these results to the chemical treatment of this crop are discussed.
