In Africa, sorghum downy mildew (SDM), caused by Peronosclerospora sorghi, infects both sorghum and maize. Systemic infection can result in severe yield loss. The effects of seed treatments and foliar sprays of metalaxyl on the disease were determined on maize in Nigeria (1992) and sorghum in Zim...

Control of sorghum downy mildew of maize and sorghum in Africa
The effect of the environment on the germination, survival and infection of sorghum by conidia of Peronosclerospora sorghi is unknown in Africa. Dew point temperature, and the effect of conidium age was characterized for an isolate of P. sorghi from Zimbabwe. Germination and germ tube growth took...

Effect of dew point temperature and conidium age on germination, germtube growth and infection of maize and sorghum by Peronosclerospora sorghi
Factors affecting the production of conidia of Peronosclerctsporas orghi, causing sorghum downy mildew (SDM), were investigated during 1993 and 1994 in Zimbabwe. In the field conidia were detected on nights when the minimum remperature was in the range l0-19ºC. On 73% of nights when conidia were ...
