Abstract

Contaf (hexaconazole) inhibited percentage growth of Alternaria alternata in vitro. The other fungicides tested in order of effectiveness were thiram, aureofungin, Captaf (captan), Kitazin (iprobenfos), Topsin-M (thiophanate-methyl), Blitox-50 (copper oxychloride), Indofil M-45 (mancozeb + thiophanate-methyl), Kavach and Bavistin (carbendazim). Thiram (0.2%), Thiram (0.1%) + Topsin M (0.025%) and Captaf (0.2%) treated seeds of faba beans gave maximum germination and elimination of seedborne infection, respectively. Three sprays of Topsin M (0.1%) gave the best control of the disease in the field plus maximum yield and net benefit (Rs. 6.7) followed by Topsin M (0.05%) + Indofil M-45 (0.1%).
