How can i test the fungicide on the fungi? How to make sure the fungi not contaminate with other fungi?

Question

As i know,there are two methods that we can use:-poison technique and leaching technique.So,how we want to apply these methods and to know which method is better to control the fungi?

Answer 1

The best way to test the fungicide is to use it. If the fungal population is reduced, the fungicide is effective. If you apply both methods and also maintain some fungi that you don't try to kill at all (a "control group"), you can compare your results. In order to determine if other fungi are present, you could try using a fungicide that is not expected to be harmful to other fungi (This would leave any invasive fungi unaffected as the target fungus dies out, leaving them more easily detected.), or you could monitor the habitat for chemical changes resulting from biological products not produced by the target fungus (implying that another organism is present).
