종자 산균제로써 Dithane M-45는 종래 사용해오던 유기수은제 보다 약간 우세한 살균력을 나타냈으며 적정농도는 1000ppm이였고, 적정시간은 4-6시간이었다. 그러나 Fusarium spp.에 대해서는 어느 농도에서도 흡족할만한 살균력을 나타내지 못하였다.

The study is carried out in laboratory to investigate fungicidal activity of Dithane M-45 as a seed treatant. For use in rice seed, Dithane M-45 is more effective fungicide than organic mercuric compounds. The adequate concentration of Dithane M-45 is 1000 ppm and about 6 hours is proper duration to control seed borne pathogen on rice. Dithane M-45, however, is not good enough to control Fusarium spp. in various concentration levels.
