Abstract

In the present study, bio-efficacy of six systemic fungicides (each @ 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm) and eight non-systemic/combi- fungicides (each @ 1000, 2000 and 2500 ppm) were evaluated in vitro against A. carthami, applying poisoned food technique. The experiment was planned with CRD and all the treatments replicated thrice.  Among systemic fungicides, 100 per cent average mycelial growth inhibition was recorded with Hexaconazole (100%), followed by Propiconazole (98.07%) and Penconazole (94.75%). Of the non-systemic and combi- fungicides, significantly highest average mycelial growth inhibition was with Carbendazim 12 WP + Mancozeb 63 WP (85.80%), followed by Mancozeb (82.59 %) and Copperoxy chloride (76.65%).
