Abstract:The pathogens causing root rot of forage maize in Gulang County of Gansu Province were identifiedas Fusarium solani by isolation,purification and culture,morphological observation and pathogenicity determination.The pathogens biological characteristics were tested and its control fungicide was screened in laboratory.Optimum growth temperature,medium and photoperiod of F.solani was 30℃,PDA medium and 12hours of light and darkness alternation.6 fungicides were screened out,and in which,the inhibiting rates of 80%carbendazol wettable powder and 75% chlorothalonil wetable powders were above 85% (92.68%,88.57% and85.33% respectively).And the EC50 was 28.50,45.50 and 97.50μg/mL respectively.
