Supramolecular Complexes of Tebuconazole with Licorice Root Extract – Effective Fungicides to Protect Spring Wheat from Common Root Rot
The high efficacy of the supramolecular complexes of tebuconazole with a complexing agent, the carrier substance glycyrrhizic acid and its derivatives, the most important components of licorice roots contained in their aqueous extract, in suppressing the development of common root rot on soft spring wheat plants, has been shown. Self-associated guest-host complexes showed the effectiveness of their use for presowing treatment of spring wheat seeds in the consumption rates of the existing synthetic fungicide tebuconazole reduced by more than 2 times, which provided increased plant density, plant survival for harvesting, indicators of spike structure and harvest grain of soft spring wheat.
