I evaluated the rainfastness and residual efficacy against citrus green mold with the simultaneous application of benzimidazoles and iminoctadine triacetate or a single application of a combination of tebuconazole and trifloxystrobin. The simultaneous application of benzimidazoles and iminoctadine maintained a notable inhibitory effect for approximately 30 days under a cumulative rainfall amount of 177 mm after application. In addition, the results of the in-vitro test showed that the effect of this simultaneous application might not decrease even if there is a cumulative rainfall of approximately 300 mm; however, this point needs to be confirmed in a field test. The combination of tebuconazole and trifloxystrobin was considered less practical for use in the control of citrus green mold because of its poor rainfastness and residual efficacy.
