Abstract

Copper oxychloride was found to be most effective in retarding growth of Fusarium moniliforme, up to the extent of 100 percent inhibition over control. It was followed by carbendazim (0.1%), thiram (0.2%), and thiophanate-methyl (0.1%) which showed 86.67%, 79.52% and 71.90% inhibition respectively.
