Abstract

The fungicides Tilt (0.05%), Hexathir (0.2%), Score (0.05%) and Contaf plus (0.05%) totally inhibited mycelial growth of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., followed by Bavistin (44.44%), Dithane M-45 (40.77%), Blue copper (38.22%) and Captaf (34.11%). Among bio-organics, maximum per cent reduction was achieved due to Chetna (54.88%), which was followed by Purna (24.11%), Reviver (21.55%) and Amogh (21.11%).
