Host Range and Chemical Control of <i>Cercospora citrullina</i> , the Causal agent of Watermelon Spot Disease
). Fungicide screening of 17 commercial formulations identified 40% iminoctadine tris (albesilate) WP (EC₅₀ = 2.82 μg·L⁻¹) and 64% mancozeb + 8% cymoxanil (WS) (EC₅₀ = 48.75 μg·L⁻¹) as the most effective treatments, achieving control efficacies of 74.47% and 58.62%, respectively. These findings provide actionable guidelines for optimizing crop rotation, inter-cropping strategies, and fungicide selection in watermelon production systems.
