4.1 Selection of test subjects, crops and varieties The test subject was sclerotinia stem rot. The experimental crop was rapeseed, using either susceptible varieties or locally commonly grown varieties. The variety names were recorded.

4.2 Environmental Conditions Field trials should be conducted in disease-prone areas. Cultivation conditions (soil type, fertilization, sowing/planting date, growth stage) should be considered for all trial plots. The spacing between plants and rows should be uniform and consistent with local scientific agricultural practices. If irrigation is used, record the method, time, and amount of water used.

5 Experimental Design and Arrangement

5.1 Test Treatment The following treatments should be set up. test reagent, control reagent, and blank control.

5.2 Reagents

5.2.1 Test reagents The test reagent should be applied at least three times; in special cases, the dosage should be set according to experimental requirements. Specify the Chinese/English common name or code of the reagent. Dosage form, active ingredient content, manufacturer, production date or batch number, expiration date, etc.

5.2.2 Control reagent The control agent should be a registered, locally used product with good efficacy and safety in actual use. The type and function of the control agent should be clearly defined. The method should be the same as or similar to that of the test drug, and the registered dosage should be used. If the test drug is a compound formulation, a single dose of each active ingredient should also be included as a control. Control drug. Special cases may vary depending on the purpose of the experiment. Record the Chinese/English common name, dosage form, active ingredient content, and manufacturer of the control drug. The product name, registration number, production date or batch number, and dosage are required.

5.3 Community Arrangement

5.3.1 Layout of the community The experimental, control, and blank control plots were randomly assigned using a block design, and the plot diagram was recorded. Special circumstances should be noted. illustrate.

5.3.2 Area of the community and duplication Community area. 15m2~50m2. Number of repetitions. at least 4 repetitions.

6 Applying pesticides

6.1 Application Method Follow the test requirements and label instructions. Application methods should be adapted to local scientific agricultural practices. Record the application methods and procedures. process.

6.2 Application equipment Select commonly used equipment in production, or choose equipment according to experimental requirements. Record the type of equipment used and its operating conditions (e.g., working pressure, etc.). All information regarding nozzle type and nozzle diameter.

6.3 Application time and frequency Follow the test requirements and label instructions. Record the number of applications, the date of each application, and the crop's growth stage. Generally, apply during the initial flowering stage of rapeseed. The first application of pesticide should be made when the stems first show signs of disease. Subsequent applications can be made depending on the development of the disease during crop growth.

6.4 Dosage Administer the medication according to the test requirements and the dosage specified on the label, and record the prepared dosage and the amount of active ingredient. The prepared dosage is usually expressed in mL/667m2 (milliliters). The dosage is expressed as per 667 square meters (g/667m2) or g/667m2 (grams per 667 square meters), while the effective ingredient dosage is expressed as g/hm2 (grams per hectare). Spray application. When applying pesticides, record the amount of pesticide solution used per hectare, expressed in L/hm2 (liters per hectare). The pesticide application should be evenly distributed; deviations in application should be minimized. If the value exceeds ±10%, its impact should be recorded and assessed.

6.5 Chemical requirements for controlling other diseases, pests, and weeds If other agents are used, those that have no effect on the test agent and test subjects should be selected, and all plots should be treated uniformly. Use separately from test and control agents to minimize interference from these agents. Record the accurate number of doses administered. Information such as the generic name of the drug, dosage form, content of active ingredient, manufacturer, dosage, application method, application time, and target pests.

7.1 Drug Efficacy Survey

7.1.1 Survey Methodology Ten sampling points were selected in a grid pattern for each community, with 10 plants surveyed at each point, for a total of 100 plants. Disease investigation and classification are as follows:

0.No disease;

1.Mild disease, with the affected area accounting for less than 5% of the main stem area;

3.Mild disease, with the affected area accounting for 6% or more but less than 15% of the main stem area;

5.Moderate disease incidence, with the affected area covering 15% to 30% of the main stem area;

7.Highly diseased, with the affected area covering 30% or more but less than 50% of the main stem area;

9.Severe disease, with the affected area accounting for more than or equal to 50% of the main stem area. If the incidence of these diseases is higher than that of rapeseed sclerotinia stem rot, the incidence rate (%) of these diseases on the same sample plant should be investigated simultaneously. The severity of the occurrence can be recorded as mild, moderate, or severe to avoid confusion with the test subjects.

7.1.2 Survey Time and Frequency Before applying the pesticide, investigate the baseline disease incidence. Determine the timing and frequency of investigations during the application period based on disease development or experimental requirements. (The last application...) Efficacy investigations should be conducted 7 to 14 days after administration. For drugs with a long duration of effect, further investigations can be conducted.

7.2 Direct impact on crops Observe whether the pesticide causes phytotoxicity to the crop, record the type and degree of phytotoxicity, and accurately describe the symptoms of phytotoxicity in the crop (stunting, chlorosis, deformity). (etc.). In addition, other effects of the agent on crops (such as promoting ripening, stimulating growth, etc.) were recorded. Record pesticide damage in the following ways.

a) If the damage from pesticides can be measured or calculated, express it in absolute values, such as plant height.

b) In other cases, the severity and frequency of phytotoxicity can be estimated using the following two methods. 1) Record the phytotoxicity level of each plot according to the phytotoxicity grading method in Table 1, using -,,,,, ; 2) Compare the drug-treated area with the blank control area to evaluate the percentage of drug damage.

7.3 Impact on Production According to the experimental requirements or when there is obvious phytotoxicity during the experimental period, the yield of each plot shall be measured and recorded in kg/hm2 (kilograms per hectare). express.

7.4 Impacts on other organisms

7.4.1 Impact on other pests and diseases Observe and record any effects of the pesticide on other pests and diseases in the test area, including both beneficial and harmful effects.

7.4.2 Effects on other non-target organisms Observe and record the effects of the agent on wild organisms and beneficial arthropods in the experimental area.

7.5 Meteorological and Soil Data

7.5.1 Meteorological Data During the experiment, rainfall data (rainfall type, daily rainfall, and daily rainfall in mm) was recorded from the test site or the nearest weather station. Record data on temperature (daily average temperature, maximum and minimum temperatures, expressed in °C). Record adverse weather conditions that affect the test results throughout the entire test period. Climate factors, such as severe or prolonged drought, torrential rain, hail, etc.

7.5.2 Soil Data Record information such as soil type, soil fertility, moisture (dry, wet, or waterlogged), and soil cover (crop residue, plastic film cover, weeds).

8.1 Formula for Calculating Drug Efficacy

8.1.1 Disease Index The disease index is calculated using formula (1).

8.1.2 Prevention and control effect If the disease has already occurred before the first application of the medication, the control effect is calculated according to formula (2).

8.2 Statistical Analysis The results were analyzed and significant differences were determined by applying appropriate biostatistical methods (such as Duncan's new multiple range method or other multiple comparison methods). Compare the sexes and indicate the statistical analysis software used.
