The efficacy of twelve sodium salts as possible alternatives to synthetic fungicides for the
control of onion basal rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae was evaluated. In vitro
tests showed that there were significant differences between the inhibitory effects of sodium
salts on the mycelial growth (P≤ 0.05) and 2%(w/v) concentrations of sodium metabisulfite
and sodium fluoride completely inhibited mycelial growth of the fungus, while other salts did
not. Sodium metabisulfite and sodium phosphate monobasic had lower pH values than the …
