Abstract
Zineb 75 WP gave cent per cent inhibition of growth and sclerotial formation in case of Macrophomina phaseolina at minimum concentration of 500 ppm followed by copper hydroxide 77WP (53.63%). Among systemic fungicides, carbendazim 50 WP proved to be the best with inhibition of 97.81 per cent. It completely inhibited the growth of pathogen at higher concentration of 500 ppm and did not allowed sclerotial formation. The combinations of fungicides pyraclostrobin 13.3% WP + epoxyconazole 5% WP and metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP gave cent per cent inhibition of mycelial growth and sclerotial formation.
