Abstract

Laboratory and field trials have shown Proline® (prothioconazole) to be efficacious against the causal agent of Rhizoctonia foliar blight on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). A biweekly application of Proline ® at 5 fl oz/ac in nursery field tests significantly reduced Rhizoctonia foliar blight on loblolly pine when compared to applications of Abound ® azoxystrobin (24 fl oz/ac; 1 fl oz/ac = 73.1 ml/ hectare) and the non-treated control. The potential monetary loss due to Rhizoctonia foliar blight per acre was $967 for non-treated, $209 for azoxystrobin treated, and
