Comparison of the efficacy of LSP (LSP-50 nm, LSP-180 nm, and LSP-600 nm), copper (Kocide 3000), and grower standard (Cu–EBDC) to manage bacterial spot disease severity (area under disease progress curve – AUDPC) on tomato variety ‘Grand Marshall’ in a field experiment in Quincy, FL.
Treatments | Rate (μg mL−1) | AUDPCb |
---|---|---|
LSP-50 nm | 100 | 2095.4 abc |
LSP-50 nm | 500 | 1869.0 ab |
LSP-180 nm | 100 | 2053.6 ab |
LSP-180 nm | 500 | 1769.6 a |
LSP-600 nm | 100 | 2001.4 ab |
LSP-600 nm | 500 | 1774.9 a |
Kocide 3000 | 2636.1 c | |

Cu–EBDC is composed of Kocide 3000 (2100 μg mL−1) and Penncozeb® 75DF (1200 μg mL−1).
The area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated using the midpoint values of Horsfall–Barratt disease severity scale.
Number with different character in the same column has significant difference (p-value = 0.05) based on Least Significant Difference statistical analysis using the IBM® SPSS® program.
