Introduction Globisporangium ultimum is an oomycetal pathogen causing damping-off on
over 300 different plant hosts. Currently, as for many phytopathogens, its control relies in the …

Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of
rice worldwide. Stimulatory effects of low doses of fungicides on pathogens are closely …

In the present study, we evaluated the antifungal potential of cytochalasins produced by
Diaporthe taxa against phytopathogenic fungi. Using molecular methods, seven endophytic …

Hormetic effects of fungicides on fungi and oomycetes include moderate increase in growth
rate, secondary metabolite production, and disease severity by plant pathogens. Hormesis …

Twenty-eight isolates of Sclerotinia homoeocarpa, causal agent of dollar spot disease in turf,
were assessed for fungicide hormesis at sublethal concentrations of thiophanate-methyl (T …

Strawberry growers across the United States are looking for sustainable alternatives to
conventional pesticides for management of soil-borne or crown-rot causing pathogens, such …

Several Pythium, Globisporangium, and Phytopythium species cause Pythium diseases in
greenhouse floricultural crops, resulting in significant seasonal losses. Four hundred and …

Hormesis, a biphasic response where low doses of stressors stimulate growth and high
doses inhibit it, has significant implications for agricultural chemical use. This review …
