Table 3. Synergy effect of polyoxin D and iminoctadine tris (albesilate) combination in cucumber inoculated with Botrytis cinerea.
| EC50 (ppm) | |
|---|---|
| Polyoxin D zinc salt (A) | 3.25 |
| Iminoctadine tris (albesilate) (B) | 11.3 |
| AB mixture ((A: 25%(a), B: 75%(b)) | 3.04 (observed) |
According to Gisi’s method,30) the following formula was used for calculation. EC50(theoretical)=(a+b)/[(a/EC(A)50)+(b/EC(B)50)]=100/(25/3.25+75/11.3)=6.98 ppm. R=EC50(theoretical)/EC50(observed)=6.98/3.04=2.30. Criteria: R≦0.5; antagonism. 0.5<R<1.5; additive. R≧1.5; synergism.
