Eastern black nightshade (Solanum ptycanthum; EBN) is a problematic weed partly due to its tolerance or resistance to certain herbicides. We examined the effects of an invert emulsion (IE) on the host range and weed control efficacy of the fungus Colletotrichum coccodes (NRRL strain 15547) for biocontrol of EBN. Greenhouse tests demonstrated that several other solanaceous weeds were also infected and killed, and field tests revealed >90% EBN control and dry weight reduction in plants treated with the fungus-IE formulation. These results demonstrate that this IE formulation can promote the efficacy of this bioherbicidal pathogen.
