Abstract

Six each of systemic and non-systemic fungicides and bioagents along with seven botanicals were evaluated in vitro against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the causal agent of anthracnose of pomegranate. carbendizim + mancozeb (0.3 per cent) and propiconazole (0.1 per cent) were most effective in reducing the mycelial growth of the fungus. Extracts from leaves of datura and garlic bulbs at 30 per cent concentration gave higher level of inhibition C. gloeosporioides
