Abstract A simple, reliable, and accurate technique is presented for identifying and analyzing solvent-pesticide interactions in bioassays. This method used the solvent acetone, the fungicides metalaxyl and captan, and the fungiPythium ultimum, Sclerotinia homeocarpa, andPestalotia sp. Conclusions obtained were tested and verified by procedures specifically developed for both water-soluble and -insoluble pesticides. The interaction response observed with any given set of bioassay parameters was dependent upon both the acetone and fungicide concentrations. However, the method compensates for these discrepancies in interaction response and indicates the most suitable test parameters to employ in subsequent bioassays.
