AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on ethaboxam, a new fungicide, and its effectiveness against Oomycetes like Phytophthora and Pythium spp.
- In vitro tests indicated that ethaboxam can inhibit various isolates of Phytophthora infestans and Phytophthora capsici at low concentrations.
- Ethaboxam demonstrated rapid inactivation of these pathogens and effectively controlled late blight in tomatoes and blight in peppers, highlighting its potential as a fungicide.
Article Abstract
This study describes the chemical synthesis and intrinsic fungicidal activity of ethaboxam [(RS)-N-(alpha-cyano-2-thenyl)-4-ethyl-2-(ethylamino)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide], a new Oomycetes fungicide. In in vitro tests, ethaboxam showed inhibitory activity against isolates of Phytophthora and some Pythium spp, with MIC values ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mg litre(-1) for nine isolates of Phytophthora infestans (Montagne) de Bary and from 1.0 to 5.0 mg litre(-1) for eight isolates of Phytophthora capsici Leonian. In tests to determine time and concentration for complete inactivation of each pathogen (five isolates of P infestans and five isolates of P capsici), ethaboxam inactivated all isolates of P infestans within 48h at 10 mg litre(-1) and those of P capsici within 96 h at 10 mg litre(-1). Ethaboxam effectively suppressed development of tomato late blight caused by P infestans and pepper Phytophthora blight caused by P capsici in the studies conducted to determine its preventive, curative, persistent and systemic activity. These results show that ethaboxam has desirable fungicidal characteristics as an Oomycetes fungicide.

Downy mildew (caused by ) and gray mold (caused by ) are fungal diseases that significantly impact grape production globally. Cytochrome b plays a significant role in the mitochondrial respiratory chain of the two fungi that cause these diseases and is a key target for quinone outside inhibitor (QoI)-based fungicide development. Since the mode of action (MOA) of QoI fungicides is restricted to a single active site, the risk of developing resistance to these fungicides is deemed high.

Cucurbit production in Florida is impacted by downy mildew on a yearly basis. Cucurbit downy mildew (CDM), caused by , is one of the most devastating cucurbit diseases and can lead to complete yield loss. Nearly continuous production of cucurbits occurs temporally throughout Florida, which puts extensive pressure on the pathogen population to select for individuals that are resistant to fungicides in use labeled for CDM.
