Aureofungin (<2 mu g/ml) in vitro inhibited Cercospora per sonata, Sclerotium rolfsii and A. niger sirs. In pot tests, using a spray comprising 6 g each of aureofungin, Na lauryl SO4, soap powder and CuSO4/3 gal water to give a 40 ppm sol., C. rolfsii was inhibited. In a lab. test A. flavus was inhibited by 1-5 mu g/ml aureofungin, and in tests with groundnuts grown in A. flavus- infested soil, infestation was <2% in plants sprayed with aureofungin (untreated 65%).
