Fungicides are the common tool for the management of leaf spot of turmeric crop caused by Colletotrichum capsici (syd.) Buttler and Bisby. The efficacy of six (6) fungicides viz., blitox-50, carbendazim, carbendazim 12 per cent + mancozeb 63 per cent, captan, mancozeb and matalaxyl were evaluated at minimum dose against the pathogen. Amongst the fungicides, carbendazim 12 per cent + mancozeb 63 per cent @ 0.2 per cent was found significantly effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth (4.47 cm) of the pathogen. Effect of carbendazim in inhibiting the mycelial growth of C. capsici was found next (2.90 cm) to carbendazim 12 per cent + mancozeb 63 per cent. Mancozeb (1.80 cm) and captan (1.62 cm) also showed effective results as compared to matalaxyl (1.0 cm).
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.
