Abstract:
Anthracnose is one of the major seed and soil borne disease affecting blackgram production. The present study conducted to evaluate the efficacy of six ready mix combi product fungicides viz., metiram 55% + pyraclostrobin 5% WG, carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP, tebuconazole 50% + trifloxystrobin 25% WG, kresoxim-Methyl 18% + chlorothalonil 56% WG, azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC, hexaconazole 5% + captan 70% WP against Colletotrichum truncatum causing anthracnose disease in black gram under in-vitro condition. All the ready mix fungicides were found promising in inhibiting vegetative growth of pathogen. Among six combi products evaluated, saaf (carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP) was most effective at all the three concentrations (500, 1000, 1500 ppm) tested. Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% WG was found next best fungicide to inhibit the pathogen growth while hexaconazole 5% + captan 70% WP was least effective in inhibiting the pathogen growth at all concentrations.
