Abstract

Pulses provide the vital protein in the diet of majority of Indians. In addition, they provide nutritious fodder to the cattle. These crops play an important role in Indian agriculture and are the best known as “poor man’s meatâ€, which constitute the major source of dietary protein. Pulses contain 20 to 30 per cent protein, which was 2.5 to3.0 times more than the value normally found in cereals. Besides their high nutritional value, they have a unique characteristic of maintaining and restoring soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation which plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture. The present study revealed that systemic fungicides such as Hexaconazole 5% EC, Propiconazole 25% EC at (0.1% and 0.15% concentrations) and Zineb 68% + Hexaconazole 4% (at 0.2% and 0.25% concentrations) were very effective against rust pathogen tested.
