METHOD OF DETERMINING FUNGICIDAL ACTIVITY OF CHEMICAL PREPARATIONS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/15 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: in agar plate which is in a Petri dish and inoculated with one of the fungal species of the genus Fusarium, circular holes are cut with the diameter of 8 mm, 0.05 ml of the working solution of the test preparation is applied into them, and placed in a thermostat at a temperature of 24.5-25.0°C, after 2-5 days depending on the type of fungus the diameter of the zone of growth inhibition of fungal mycelium is measured and the activity of the preparations is calculated according to the formula , and it is considered that when A=1 the fungicide is ineffective - the zone of growth inhibition is not formed (D=d), when A=2-3 the preparation activity is low, when A=4 it is average, and when A≥5 it is high.

EFFECT: invention provides accuracy of determining the activity of seed disinfectants and fungicides used in agricultural production.
