Abstract

Among the different fungicides tested in vitro copper oxychloride (0.25%), propiconazole (0.1%), difenconazole (0.1%), and hexaconazole (0.1%), completely inhibited the growth of C. gloeosporioides. Carbendazim (0.1%) and benomyl (0,1%) were also found effective with 91.67% and 90.00 % inhibition over control, respectively. Where as mancozeb (0.25%) was less effective.

The antagonistic effect of bioagents on C. gloeosporioides in vitro revealed that Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride were most effective. However Gliocladium virens was also found effective when pathogen placed at the centre, Serratia sp. was found less effective.
