| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to determine, under controlled and field conditions, the rainfastness of new fungicide formulations available for organic apple and pear farming. The rainfastness was assessed by both (i) analysing the content of residual chemical elements present on the leaves subjected to various amount of rain (from 0 to 30 mm) using an atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES) under controlled and field conditions and (ii) measuring scab control effectiveness on inoculated seedlings following various amount of artificial rain (from 0 to 30 mm) applied on the leaves under controlled environment. The field study in apple orchard shows that with protective applications of lime sulphur (2%), copper hydroxide (0.1%), wettable sulphur (1%), and potassium bicarbonate (1%) subjected to 33 mm of precipitation, leaves still contain, respectively 61, 48, 36, 43 % of elemental sulphur, copper or potassium ions applied initially. This means that among sulphur formulations, lime sulphur shows significantly higher past effect on the leaves. The greenhouse study on seedlings shows that protective applications on dry leaves of lime sulphur (2%), wettable sulphur (1%), copper hydroxide (0.1%) and potassium bicarbonate (1%) significantly reduced pear scab severity with more than 96% effectiveness, on susceptible cultivars, under high scab pressure. Lime sulphur revealed a better resistance to rain compared to wettable sulphur, copper and bicarbonate, providing scab-intensity control effectiveness of 85, 52, 28, 6% and scab-severity control effectiveness of 92, 64, 75, 27%, respectively, after an application of 30 mm of artificial rain. Others formulations such as Heliosoufre, Heliocuivre and Armicarb were also tested in this study. |
