A field study was conducted at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Gujarat, over four consecutive Rabi seasons (2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22) using a randomized block design with three replications to assess the efficacy of two fungicides against powdery mildew in fenugreek (cv. Gujarat Methi-2). Among all treatments, hexaconazole 5 SC at 0.0063% (Tƒ ) consistently recorded the lowest disease intensity (pooled mean:11.34%) and the highest seed yield (2309 kg/ha), being at par with hexaconazole 0.005% and wettable sulphur 0.25%. The untreated control showed the highest disease intensity (38.82%) and the lowest yield (1596 kg/ha). Residue analysis confirmed hexaconazole residues well below permissible limits, while economic evaluation revealed the highest ICBR (13.82) with Tƒ . Thus, foliar application of hexaconazole 5 SC at 0.0063% proved most effective, safe, and economical for managing powdery mildew in fenugreek.
