Abstract

Evaluation of nine fungicides in vitro against four predominant foliar fungal pathogens viz., Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Pestalotiopsis maculans and Fusarium verticillioides associated with yellowing disease of coconut revealed that propiconazole, tebuconazole and mancozeb completely inhibited the growth of all the pathogens and proved superior to the other fungicides tested.
