The biological characteristics of Marssonina coronaria were studied and the suitable pesticides against the pathogen were screened in the paper, to provide a scientific basis for studies on epidemic regularity and control of the disease. The effects of different nutrition and environmental conditions as well as nine pesticides on the mycelial growth of M. coronaria were investigated in this paper. The results indicated that the mycelium grew well on the PDA medium with pH of 7.0, and soluble starch and urea were suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, respec- tively. The lethal temperature was 45 ~C, and the light-dark alternation （12/12h） was benefit for mycelial growth. Among the nine tested pesticides, carbendazim was the most effective agent, with ECs0 of 8.78 mg/L, and its relative inhibition rate was 85 % under the recommended concentration of 1.0 mg/L. Mancozeb was the least effective agent, and its relative inhibition rate was only 40.8% under the recommended concentration of 1.67 mg/L.展开更多

We report a method involving wipe sampling, liquid chromatography separation, and tandem mass spectrometry, which enables determination of 82 pesticides out of the 96 regulated by Health Canada. To demonstrate an application of the method, we sampled and measured pesticides in two cannabis growing facilities, representing a non-certified and a certified site. We detected 41 pesticides in surface wipe samples at the non-certified site and 6 at the certified site. This study provides the first evidence showing pesticide occurrence on common surfaces in cannabis growing facilities and points to a need for routine monitoring and strict control of pesticide use in cannabis facilities.展开更多
