The present research was aimed to develop a novel formula for in vitro pollen germination as well as to screen for low toxicity pesticides for anthracnose disease for ‘Irwin’ mangos. The results showed PEG was very helpful in increasing in vitro pollen germination of ‘Irwin’ mangos. The best formula for in vitro pollen germination of ‘Irwin’ mangos was 15 % sucrose, 100 ppm boric acid, 200 ppm magnesium sulfate, 100 ppm potassium nitrate, 300 ppm calcium sulfate and 25 % PEG. The pollen germination rate using this formula could reach 80 % or even higher. Fourteen pesticides used to prevent mango anthracnose disease were screened for low toxicity to ‘Irwin’ mango pollens by incorporating the pesticides into the pollen germination media for ‘Irwin’ mangos. The results showed that 50 % Prochloraz at 167 ppm and Kasugamycin + Carbendazim at 1000 ppm were non-toxic to ‘Irwin’ mango pollens. Carbendazim + Prochloraz at 333 ppm had little toxic effects on pollen germination with germination rates decreasing by only 12 %. The rest of the pesticides, 23 % Azoxystrobin at 500 ppm, 62.5 % Cyprodinil + Fludioxonil at 500 ppm, 24.9 % Difenoconazole at 667 ppm, 42.2 % Dithianon at 833 ppm, 50 % Kresoxim-methyl at 500 ppm, 80 % Mancozeb at 2500 ppm, 80 % Metiram at 2000 ppm, 62.25 % Myclobutanil + Mancozeb at 1667 ppm, 70 % Propineb at 2500 ppm, 53 % Thiabendazole + Oxine-copper at 833 ppm and 50 % Trifloxystrobin at 250 ppm all had highly toxic effects to the pollen germination of ‘Irwin’ mangos. When incorporated with these pesticides, germination rates ranged from only 0 % to 15 %. |
