Abstract

The field study was carried out from April to October 2022 to evaluate the effects of four pesticides on the management of anthracnose on taro caused by Colletotrichum sp. caused in Lap Vo district, Dong Thap province. The experiment was arranged with 5 treatments and 4 replications. Experimental results show that in four experimental pesticides, Penncozeb 75DF has the highest preventive effect from 69.8% to 88.4% against anthracnose on the taro. The next effective was Aliette 800WG with a preventive effect from 64.0% to 75.8%. The effective of Anvil 5SC had a preventive effect from 56.1% to 69.0 and Tracomix 760WP had the lowest disease prevention effect from 39.8% to 54.4%. Penncozeb 75DF had a high percentage of whole tubers (80.0%), a low percentage of damaged bulbs (20.0%) leading to the highest yield (22.8 tons/ha) because of effective control of anthracnose. The treatment with Aliette 800WG had the percentage of whole tubers (78.2%), the percentage of damaged tubers (21.8%) and yield (21.2 tons/ha). Treatment of Anvil 5SC had the ratio of good tubers (77.4%), the rate of rot tubers (22.6%) and the yield (20.5 tons /ha).Tracomix 760WP treated with the lowest percent of good tubers (74.6%), the maximum percent of rot tubers (25.4%) and the minimum productivity (19.1 tons / ha) compared to the pesticide treated treatments but still higher than the yield in the control treatment (15.0 tons/ ha).
