Abstract

The different concentrations of SAAF (Carbendazim12% & Mancozeb63%) have been revealed that the 0.75% is most effective in reducing mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani. Comparative evaluation of SAAF with other fungicides (companion and carbendazim) and biocides (Neem & T.harzianum) revealed that SAAF is most effective in reducing mycelial growth of the pathogen showing 2.3 cm in diameter against 9.00 cm in control. The minimum disease incidence with14.75% was also recorded by foliar spray of SAAF @ 0.75 which was followed by compainion @ 0.5% (18.22%).
