Abstract

Eight fungicides (carbendazim, carbendazim + thiram, benomyl, tridemorph, thiophanate-methyl, metalaxyl, vinclozolin and thiram) including 1 combination were evaluated for their efficacy to control grey mould of chickpea caused by Botrytis cinerea. The fungicides were tested as a seed treatment and as a prophylactic spray. Dry seed treatment @2.5 g/kg of seed with carbendazim + thiram protected chickpea (cv. JG 62) plants up to 8 weeks after sowing against aerial infection by B. cinerea.
