Abstract

Difenconazole was observed to be most effective and recorded highest reduction in mycelial growth of A. porri. The highest reduction of mycelial growth (89.45%) was observed at 1000 ppm. Difenconazole was found to be the most effective fungicide. It also inhibited spore germination (87.38%), followed by mancozeb (85%), copperoxychloride (71.50%) and chlorothalonil (64.70%).
