Effect of some organic phosphorus and carbamate pesticides on Streptomyces scabies.

Of all the organic phosphorus and carbamate pesticides, tested on Streptomyces scabies, Thimet, Chlorothion, Dithane M-45, and Karathane, were effective at relatively low concentrations (1, 20, 16, and 115 ppm). Minimal inhibitory concentrations of these pesticides were the same in vitro as well as in vivo. The other organic phosphorus and carbamate compounds tested were less effective under the laboratory conditions of these tests.
