Among fungicides Saaf, Quintal and Bavistin gave 100 per cent inhibition of mycelial growth of Gloeocercospora sorghi at all concentrations in vitro. Maximum reduction in disease severity was obtained with Saaf (59.79%) followed by Bavistin (52.94%) with three foliar sprays. Similarly, Saaf (47.95%) reduced the disease severity to the maximum extent with three foliar sprays under field conditions. The findings suggests that Saaf can suppress the pathogen to get disease free fodder yield of Sorghum.
Fungicides, Gloeocercospora sorghi, sorghum, zonate leaf spot
