Abstract

Eight systemic and nonsystemic fungicides were used for the dontrol of Sclerotinia white rot of B. juncea. A significant reduction in the percentage of disease development and also in the size of diseased spots was noted. Benlate and topsin-M were the most effective fungicides followed by difolatan, plantvax, brassicol, vitavax, demosan and ceresan. No phytotoxicity was observed with any of the treatment.
