The experiments aimed to evaluate the efficacy of some fungicides for the control of pathogens in peppers and eggplants crops under high plastic tunnels. The crops (extended cycle) were established on May 9, in the 2024 year, at R.D.I.V.F.G.-Vidra. The biological material was represented by 2 bell pepper hybrids (Piedone F1 and Blancina F1) and 2 eggplant hybrids (Aragon F1 and Epic F1). Experiments included 5 variants (V5. Untreated control), with 3 replicates. Four treatments with fungicides were applied, at 10-day intervals. The tested products were: V1. Amistar 0.1%, V2. Dagonis 0.1%, V3. Ortiva Top 0.1% and V4. Cidely Top 0.1%. On peppers crops, the Piedone F1 hybrid was attacked by the pathogens Alternaria solani and Colletotrichum capsici, and the Blancina F1 hybrid only by the pathogen Alternaria solani. On eggplants crops, the Epic F1 hybrid was attacked by the pathogens Alternaria solani and Botrytis cinerea, and the Aragon F1 hybrid, only by the pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Among the tested fungicides, Ortiva Top 0.1% and Amistar 0.1% for peppers and Dagonis 0.1% and Amistar 0.1% for eggplants stood out for their efficacy and yield. The Blancina F1 peppers hybrid is less sensitive to the attack of the pathogens Alternaria solani and Colletotrichum capsici and the Aragon F1 eggplants hybrid is less sensitive to the attack produced by Alternaria solani and Botrytis cinerea.
