Study The effect of some fungicides against peacock eye disease on olives Caused by the fungus: Spilocaeaoleaginea(Cast.) Hugh

To know the effect of some fungicides on peacock eye disease has beentested five fungicides from different chemical groups, using concentrations advisable to field application,on the 45 year old olive trees in the Baksa village Lattakia . The results showed an increase in incidence of the control of 22.4 to 45.5 % after 45 days, versus low incidence rates in the fungicides tested treatments . The best two fungicides were thiophanate –methyl with infection decreasing from 19.2 to 10.3% and chlorothalonil from 24.3% to 16.5% . The severity also decreased in the treatment of the fungicide thiophanate –methyl from 9.7 to 4.1 % and chlorothalonil from 13.7 to 8.9 % while the severity of the infection of the control increased from 10.5 to 25.6 % .In order to efficiency the fungicide thiophanate – methyl was more effective reducing the infection severity compared with the control with 82.8 %, followed by chlorothalonil , kresoxsim methyl , and mancozeb with 73.3 , 72.0 , 71.9% respectively whereas the fungicide copper oxychloride was the least effective with 68.1%.

Comparison of the resistance of some olive varieties to the infection of peacock eye disease caused by the fungus: Spilocaea Oleagina (Cast.) Hughes in field

To determine the susceptibility of some olive varieties to the disease of eye peacock, We studied the development of eye peacock disease on 3 varieties (Khadairy - Zorzalina - Frontoio. The percentage of infected leaves and the severity of infection were estimated during spring and autumn months, the maximum period of the spread of the disease.
