“…Research studies have demonstrated the significant impact of blight on cumin crops. In a study conducted by Kakraliya et al, (2021) in Rajasthan, it was observed that 51 Environment Conservation Journal cumin crops faced a substantial setback under favorable conditions, experiencing 62.88 per cent decrease in yield due to the presence of Alternaria blight. In another study conducted by Wadud et al, 2021, it was found that blight of cumin caused a drastic yield loss, with an incidence rate of nearly 98 per cent and a disease severity of up to 88 per cent.…”

“…The evaluation of fungicides plays a crucial role in effectively managing cumin blight, as it is a severe fungal disease. Fungicides are chemical compounds specifically formulated to control fungal diseases and can serve as effective tools in combating blight in cumin crops (Kakraliya et al, 2021). While several broad-spectrum fungicides have been previously reported for their in-vitro efficacy against Alternaria blight of cumin, it is vital to assess their relative effectiveness compared to newgeneration fungicides.…”

The present investigation aimed to determine the per cent growth inhibition of different fungicides against Alternaria burnsii, the causal agent of cumin blight. The study was conducted during 2020-21 at the Experiential Unit of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, SKRAU, Bikaner. Using the poisoned food technique, eleven fungicides were tested at varying concentrations (100, 200, 300, and 500 ppm). After seven days of incubation, the radial growth and per cent growth inhibition of A. burnsii were measured. The results revealed that increasing the fungicide concentration led to greater inhibition of mycelium growth. Among the tested fungicides, Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 20% WG exhibited the highest mean inhibition (76.94%), followed by Tebuconazole 2DS (65.09%) and Pyraclostrobin 13.30% + Epoxiconazole 5% SE (58.75%). Notably, Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 20% WG at concentrations of 300 ppm and 500 ppm, as well as Tebuconazole 2DS at 500 ppm, demonstrated the highest effectiveness with cent per cent growth inhibition. On the other hand, Chlorothalonil showed the least mean growth inhibition (22.96%). The results demonstrated that as the fungicide concentration increased, there was a corresponding increase in the inhibition of A. burnsii growth. These findings highlight the potential effectiveness of selected fungicides, particularly Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 20% WG and Tebuconazole 2DS for managing cumin blight caused by A. burnsii.
