Abstract
In this work the fungicidal action of three agrochemicals (Sphere®, Nativo® and Bendazol®) used in soybean for control of fungal diseases on the lineages CG-28 and CG-30 of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae was evaluated. It was found that the fungicides inhibited the vegetative growth of the lineages at the concentrations indicated for the field, thereby showing its antifungal effect.
