In vitro evaluation of new synthetic fungicides against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were carried out in the Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Osmanabad during the year 2011-12. Among the non-systemic fungicides at 0.3 per cent concentration carbendazim + mancozeb showed 82.10 per cent inhibition of mycelial growth of fungus followed by chlorothalonil with 75.80 per cent and least inhibition of mycelial growth was recorded in captan 63.48 per cent. The systemic fungicides were evaluated against the pathogen at 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 per cent concentration. Among these concentration all fungicides were significantly found superior at 0.15 per cent concentration compared to 0.1 and 0.05 per cent concentration. The maximum per cent inhibition of growth of C. gloeosporioides was observed in propiconazole (74.86%) followed by benomyl (68.17%), iprodion + carbendezim (67.67%), thiophynate methyl (64.97%). The least per cent inhibition of fungus was recorded in bittertanol (44.12%) and hexaconazole (32.62%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
