The investigations were carried out to find out effect different fungicides to control purple stain of soybean caused by Cercospora kikuchii. Among all the fungicidal treatments carbendazim @ 0.2%, copper oxychloride @ 0.25%, thiram + carbendazim @ 0.3% (1:1 ratio), thiram @ 0.2% and propiconazole @ 0.05% were significantly superior over control and rest of fungicidal treatments in controlling purple stain of soybean. Among all the fungicides carbendazim @ 0.2% showed highest per cent disease control i. e. 93.34%. It was followed by copper oxychlorides @ 0.25% (90.88%), thiram + carbendazim @ 0.3% (88.48%), thiram @ 0.2% (88.00%) and propiconazole @ 0.05% (87.36%).
