Abstract

In the present study, seven fungicides and their combinations were evaluated against the grey leaf blight disease of mango. Minimum disease intensity (%) and maximum disease control (%) was achieved with the spray of carbendazim+mancozeb (0.2% @ 2.0 g l−1) and kresoxim methyl (0.1% @ 1.0 ml l−1) against grey leaf blight disease of mango. Carbendazim 12%+mancozeb 63% was found significantly superior over rest of the treatments with minimum grey leaf blight intensity (8.07%) followed by kresoxim methyl 43% SC (10.67%). Copper oxychloride 50% WP was found to be the next best treatment in order of effectiveness which was at par with cymoxanil 8%+mancozeb 64% (12.74%).
