Management of rust of lentil through fungicides

The effect various fungicides at different dosages lentis rust in vivo and in vitro were studied during 2007–2009. Data analysis revealed that all the used fungicides reduced the spore germination and disease severity disease severity significantly and increased the total grain and 1000-grain weight. Two foliar spray of bayletan resulted maximum grain yield (585.5 kg/ha) followed by mancozeb (575 kg/ha) andthiram (545.7 kg/ha) 2007–2008. Similar trends in yield were recorded during subsequent year. Among all the treatments bayletan found best, resulted in minimum disease severity and maximum grain yield followed by mancozeb and thiram.
