CONTROL OF FUNGAL DISEASES IN THE PRODUCTION OF MUSHROOMS

摘要

A method of controlling toxic fungal diseases in mushrooms is provided which comprises adding an effective fungal-disease-inhibiting amount of a compound of the formula <IMG> to a substrate in which mushrooms are growing or are to be grown, wherein R represents -CH2OH or -CHO; n is an integer from 0 to 3; and each R1 independently represents halogen, OH, NH2, or an organic substituent containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and from 0 to 5 heteroatoms, wherein the total number of carbon and heteroatoms in all R1 substituents is no more than 15.
