The invention relates to a method for identifying chemical or biochemical agents capable of suppressing asexual reproduction in fungi. The method comprises identifying compounds that form a differential zone of development in the area surrounding the test compound on fungal agar plate cultures as compared to normal growth in the surrounding region. Active anti-sporulation compounds are identified based upon the observed suppression of spore formation in the absence of fungal mycelium vegetative growth inhibition. The invention also provides agricultural fungicide and antimycotic compositions, and methods of applying such compositions to control fungal diseases and /or conditions.
本发明涉及一种鉴定能够抑制真菌无性繁殖的
化学或生化制剂的方法。该方法包括鉴定在真菌
琼脂平板培养物上试验化合物周围区域与周围区域正常生长相比形成不同发育区的化合物。根据观察到的在没有真菌菌丝无性生长抑制的情况下孢子形成的抑制作用,确定活性抗孢子化合物。本发明还提供了农用杀真菌剂和抗霉菌剂组合物,以及应用此类组合物控制真菌疾病和/或病症的方法。
