Summary: The search for alternative methods and products of disease management has been
increasing in recent years due to the harmful effects that pesticides cause to the
environment and to human health. The studies to control fusariosis using alternative
methods are related to the strategies of modern agriculture and go towards the
economic and ecological interests, being the stimulus to the defense of the plants by
the induction of resistance an important alternative. The natural protection of plants
against pathogens is given by several mechanisms. It is partly based on a variety of
constitutional barriers already present in plant tissues prior to any attack or infection.
Micronutrients have been identified as one of the major mineral elements associated
with the induction of resistance to plant diseases. Thus, the objective of this study
was to test the antifungal activity in vitro using CuSO4, ZnSO4 and KCl against
Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis.
