Colletotrichum fungi could cause anthracnose, a destructive disease in tea-oil trees. The sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) tebuconazole has been widely used in controlling plant diseases for many years. However, the baseline sensitivity of Colletotrichum isolates on tea-oil trees to tebuconazole has not been determined. In this study, the sensitivity to tebuconazole of 117 Colletotrichum isolates from tea-oil trees of seven provinces in southern China was tested. The mean effective concentration resulted in 50% mycelial growth inhibition (EC50), 0.7625 & mu;g/ml. The EC50 values of 100 iso...
